Abstract: After two papers on weak cubical categories and {it collarable} cospans, respectively, we put things together and construct a {it weak} cubical category of cubical {it collared} cospans of topological spaces. We also build a second structure, called a {it quasi} cubical category, formed of arbitrary cubical cospans concatenated by homotopy pushouts. This structure, simpler but weaker, has {it lax} identities. It contains a similar framework for cobordisms of manifolds with corners and could therefore be the basis to extend the study of TQFT's of Part II to higher cubical degree.
