Youth is the main and major participant in future and present urban development. “Metropolis through Children’s Eyes” is an art competition organized by the World Association of the Major Metropolises (Metropolis) and the city of Guangzhou, with an aim at encouraging children to present to the world their bright imaginations and creative solutions for future cities through their artworks. 

To better showcase the active participation of the young people from different cities and their confidence in a better urban future, in addition to the 19 outstanding works, the organizing committee has also selected 5 deserving artworks that were also exhibited during the 2023 Global Mayors Forum.
