Today, the influence of Minecraft (Minecraft) has exceeded the game category.Many people start using it as an educational tool.In some schools, teachers use it to teach various knowledge such as architecture, history, programming and art.UN-Habitat (UN Planning Agency) has also begun to use "Minecraft (Minecraft)".UN-Habitat has a project that improves urban public space, helping developing countries to build facilities in parks, squares, stadiums.Now, it has begun to attract young people's participation with "Minecraft".

"The participation of the local community is very important. The more participants, the better. In terms of design and maintenance, you will achieve better results, and you can ensure that these spaces are fully utilized," the director of the project Pontus WesterbergTo the FastCoexist website, "When you hold a public meeting, the more common situation is that you will meet those older people. They have time, interest, and experience. Let young people attend the meeting and speak. That is.Very difficult thing. "

To this end, UN-Habitat organized creative activities in 15 countries around the world.There, teenagers designed public space in "Minecraft (Minecraft)", and then showed the results to architects, politicians and business people."On the first day, young people are really very restrained," said Westerberg. "But after three days of construction in" Minecraft (Minecraft) ", they began to adhere to their views and argued why a specific function was a specific function.It should exist.

After contacting the developer Mojang, the developer of "Minecraft (Minecraft)", the UN-Habitat co-established an institution called Block By Block to be responsible for this affairs.At present, Block By Block's place where activities have carried out activities include Haiti, Kenya, Somalia, Nigeria, the Philippines and other places.At the same time, in actual project construction, it will also help raise funds.

Recently, UN-Habitat organized a scientific and technological activity to promote a project in Mexico.In this event, it received a total of more than 1,000 works."Even if their design is not so beautiful, the key is that they start to communicate with others. This is a good way to give the city planning ideas a very important group."

Westerberg believes that "MINECRAFT (Minecraft)" can be successful because it is easy to use and suitable for various people."As long as the children have a little computer skills, they can learn it within 10 minutes. Compared with traditional planning tools, it is simple and easy to get started." He said.
