Future City Competition

The Future City Competition (FCC) is a project-based program where students in grades 6-8 imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future. Schools or recognized youth organizations can form teams. Participants complete five deliverables: a 1,500-word city essay; a scale model built from recycled materials; a project plan, a presentation video, and a Q&A session with judges. Learn More

2021-2022 Theme: Designing a Waste-Free City

Imagine a city 100 years in the future that generates no waste and no pollution. Is this even possible? If we look to the natural world, the answer is yes! In nature, one organism’s waste is another organism’s food. Nutrients and energy flow in a cycle of growth, decay, and reuse. This is called a circular system. A circular economy is a way to design, make, and use things. It requires shifting our systems and will involve everyone and everything: businesses, governments, and individuals; our cities, our products, and our jobs.
