This year The Gingerbread City® explores our desire for more liveable cities, and takes inspiration fromthe '15-Minute City’ where most everyday needs can be accomplished within a 15-minute walk, cycle or a trip on public transport. Opening from 3 December on Motcomb Street, Belgravia, this year’s city presents not just one edible city but FIVE miniature cities located across five different climate zones. Participating architects, engineers and designers have been asked to design and build for either a Polar, Continental, Temperate, Dry or Tropical zone.
 
Now in its sixth year, The Gingerbread City® is the Museum of Architecture’s annual pop-up exhibition, which puts an exciting twist on the festive gingerbread house and sparks important conversations around cities and how we live in them. Each year, the exhibition brings together over 100 top architects, engineers and designers and invites them to create an entire miniature city made from gingerbread, sweets and icing.

​Masterplan designed by: Madeleine Kessler Architecture and Tibbalds Planning and Design.
Note for architects, engineers and designers: Visit this website for more information on this year's masterplan and for the plots sales from
Monday 3rd October at 9am.
