In 2008, Hasbro released ''Monopoly Here and Now: The World Edition''. This world edition features top locations of the world. The locations were decided by votes over the Internet. The result of the voting was announced on August 20, 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 20, 2008 |title=Montreal top property in new ''Monopoly'' game – CTV.ca.

Out of these, [[Gdynia]] is especially notable, as it is by far the smallest city of those featured and won the vote as a "wild card" along with Taipei thanks to its residents and supporters.<ref name="Gdynia na planszy Monopoly!">{{cite web |date=August 20, 2008 |website=trojmiasto.pl |url=https://www.trojmiasto.pl/wiadomosci/Gdynia-na-planszy-Monopoly-n29288.html |title=Gdynia na planszy Monopoly! |trans-title=Gdynia on the Monopoly board! |language=pl |access-date=August 9, 2022}}</ref>

It is also notable that three cities (Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver) are from Canada and three other cities (Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai) are from the People's Republic of China. No other countries are represented by more than one city.<ref>{{cite news |title=Canada and Latvia cheer as Monopoly goes global |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-monopoly-idUSN8K37824420080820 |date=August 20, 2008 |work=Reuters |access-date=August 8, 2022}}</ref>

Of the 68 cities listed on Hasbro Inc.'s website for the vote, [[Jerusalem]] was chosen as one of the 20 cities to be featured in the newest ''Monopoly'' World Edition.<ref name="MSNBC">{{Cite web|title=Monopoly contest stirs up Jerusalem conflict|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23281286|access-date=December 29, 2022|website=NBC News|date=February 21, 2008 |language=en}}</ref> Before the vote took place, a Hasbro employee in the London office eliminated the country signifier "Israel" after the city, in response to pressure from pro-[[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] [[advocacy group]]s.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 20, 2008 |title=From Hasbro, regarding removal of Israel from World Monopoly vote |url=http://jergames.blogspot.com/2008/02/from-hasbro-regarding-removal-of-israel.html}}</ref> After the Israeli government protested, Hasbro Inc. issued a statement that read: "It was a bad decision, one that we rectified relatively quickly. This is a game. We never wanted to enter into any political debate. We apologize to our ''Monopoly'' fans."<ref name="MSNBC" />

A similar online vote was held in early 2015 for an updated version of the game. The resulting board was released worldwide in late 2015. Lima, Peru, won the vote to hold the Boardwalk space.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150319005048/en/Worldwide-Fan-Vote-Determines-New-Properties-in-MONOPOLY-HERE-NOW-Games |title=Worldwide Fan Vote Determines New Properties in MONOPOLY HERE & NOW Games |work=Business Wire |date=March 19, 2015 |access-date=January 15, 2025}}</ref>
