Design Future London includes Schools Reinventing Cities!
Think about the local area in which you live, your neighbourhood and your town centre. How can we build a better London for everyone – making it a safer, fairer, greener and more prosperous city for all Londoners?
You are challenged to identify a site you think you can improve and develop your design based on:
- What it already offers?
- What might be missing?
- How it can be improved?
- How do you see it evolving or being improved in the future for the community?
You can work individually or as part of a team of up to 5 people to develop and design your ideas and have from September to end of January 2024 to produce your final submission. Take a look at last years finalists and learn more about the challenge

More about Design Future London
The Design Future London challenge seeks to encourage a greater diversity of young Londoners to enter the built environment sector (covering planning, architecture, urban design, surveying, property, real estate management and construction).
Working with partners C40 Cities, Minecraft Education, MOBIE, Esri and Local Village Network, the Design Future London Challenge offers opportunities to:
- inspire young people to think about where they live, how places are shaped and influenced and how they could be involved;
- raise the profile of careers in the built environment sector and inspire a future talent pipeline;
- engage young Londoners to share their vision for the future of their city and to design solutions for the city’s future which will inform the Greater London Authority’s review of a future London Plan;
- promote digital skills;
- support diverse learning styles by offering a range of resources to help students such as free model-making materials;
- access to a programme of events that will be hosted in a dedicated space at the Building Centre.
- support schools with a mentorship programme.
