The Cities for our Future Challenge is a global competition run by the Royal Institution Of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in partnership with UNESCO UKNC and the ACU.
Are you an imaginative, problem solving young professional, start-up or student involved in surveying, urban design, architecture, or engineering?
