Minnesota – Future City® Competition

Future City Competition – Volunteers Needed

Have you ever wondered what cities will look like in the future? This is you change to take a sneak peek and support a great program at the same time!

This will be the 25th year of the Minnesota Future City Competition and is the 17th year that the SAME-MSP Post is sponsoring a special award category at the Regional Finals for the team that best addresses “Readiness for Natural and Human-made Disasters.” 

The Post needs the assistance of at least four volunteers on the morning of Saturday, January 18, 2025 at Metro State University – St. Paul Campus to help select the team to receive our special award. Please note that this is a new location from recent years.

This year’s competition theme is Above the Current – teams will research, imagine, and design future cities that float on water and keep citizens healthy and safe. This theme should produce some very creative ideas in terms for preparing for disasters. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Peter Allen at peter.j.allen@usace.army.mil or 651-290-5413.
