City Build
Teams collaborate to design and build a giant city with interconnecting zones out of everyday materials. Participants are motivated and inspired by successfully working towards a common goal. Together, they develop a common vision and a shared strategy while applying creativity and excellent project management skills.
Event Overview
Plan, design and construct a giant model city that is both functional and cohesive
Teams are given a zone of a model city to build. The city has zones such as industrial, residential, leisure and business districts, as well as interconnecting infrastructure features like roads, rails and waterways. They then must collaborate to develop a plan for the city, ensuring there is uniformity of design across the zones and that roads and rivers flow coherently with the other teams’ sections and the city as a whole.
Using a wide range of materials, they build an imaginative and creative urban landscape that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. When the time is up, teams join the sections of the city together and celebrate their shared success.
Planning and strategy through effective cross-team communication and collaboration are essential to ensure the zones of the city interconnect and flow. Resource and time management are also necessary in order to complete the project on time.
City Build is a fun, memorable, shared experience that relies on engagement from all individuals, good team dynamics and collaboration across the whole group to ensure success.

"Everyone was EXTREMELY pleased with how the event went! The entire group was super engaged from beginning to end. Kevin and the team did a great job. Thanks!
The feedback has been nothing but positive. I received several unsolicited comments from many people who could not say enough great things about the program and the facilitators. It was definitely a success!
Amazing! The event was a HUGE success! Everything was perfect – the participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I can’t say enough about how well it went. The word is already flying around the office about the success of the program and we already have another group thinking about using this program for an event of their own!
Everything went very well with our Do Good Bus. Michael was great, very friendly and really fun to have around.
I have to say Kevin was absolutely OUTSTANDING. He is truly gifted in his presentation, engagement of the people, he’s funny and everyone just raved over him—top notch!
