They learn how to use Minecraft, a powerful tool for visualization and collaboration, to design the space that they would like to see. And then they build it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1532551523689-36VP91NW0MHGS3OOZ3D1/block-by-block-workshop-Hanoi-Vietnam-800.png Public Space Planning Block by Block Using Minecraft - Hello! We Are Block by Block. We empower communities to reimagine the cities they live in, starting with the magic of Minecraft. We began in 2012 as an innovative partnership between the UN and Mojang Studios, developers of Minecraft. For more than a decade, we’ve worked at the intersection of gaming and social impact, turning people’s dreams into reality using a video game. Our groundbreaking collaborative methods have been integrated into a number of UN-Habitat programs and are gaining traction with other UN agencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1519065177976-T673B0BPLUATKUAVJHE5/Asset+1.png Public Space Planning Block by Block Using Minecraft - $11M https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1532384874882-DMW9D9XFU3R03TH9E2WG/block_9bc9ec.jpg Public Space Planning Block by Block Using Minecraft - 3M https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1519065182453-BT0FFY3HG24SH4Q6WVOF/Asset+2.png Public Space Planning Block by Block Using Minecraft - 31K https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1532384991448-CBO1YL7XOQCTCJ7QE6VH/block_e8f0fa.jpg Public Space Planning Block by Block Using Minecraft https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1558036128148-2ROB1Y65O4OP2W2ZDC7I/block_by_block_corner_bg-top-R.jpg Public Space Planning Block by Block Using Minecraft https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1532551582428-WV02BIJPN1E18HBKAIW5/community_building_Surabaya_Indonesia_blocks.jpg Public Space Planning Block by Block Using Minecraft - Building <b>resilient cities</b>, block by block. https://www.blockbyblock.org/our-approach daily 0.75 2025-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2ed5d18c56a8af94f22a6f/1521580461753-W2T229QMK8JYLGNE8T3X/Les+Cayes+Waterfront+Minecraft+-+Mashable.jpg Building Stronger Communities, Equality, and Hope via Public Space Transformation - 1.
