New 7 Wonders Cities

2011–2014 polled list of global cities From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New 7 Wonders Cities (2011–2014) was the third in a series of Internet-based polls operated by the New 7 Wonders Foundation. It followed New 7 Wonders of the World and New 7 Wonders of Nature.

The poll began in 2007 with more than 1200 nominees from 220 countries. A longlist of 77, limited to a maximum of one city per country, was considered by a panel headed by Federico Mayor Zaragoza, former director-general of UNESCO, which shortlisted 28 suggestions. The shortlist was then opened to a public vote.[1] Announced in 2011, it ended in 2014 with the selection of Beirut, Doha, Durban, Havana, Kuala Lumpur, La Paz and Vigan as the winning cities.[2]
