Minecraft to aid UN regeneration projects
Development plans for 300 places around the world are being modeled in Minecraft so that residents can decide how their places will be changed.
It is known as Block by Block, the programme is part of a collaboration between Minecraft-maker Mojang and UN Habitat.

Urban areas can be recreated in computer by using Minecraft that allows users to explore their surroundings in a virtual.
They will also be able alter the model and decide how regeneration cash should be spent.
One of the first areas that was modelled in Minecraft as part of a pilot project for Block by Block is the Undugu playground - part of the Kibera slum area that lies on the outskirts of Nairobi.
"We'll be putting it into the game to let players can play around and feel like it's as real as possible," Lydia Winters (community liaison manager at Mojang) explained to the BBC.
Undugu has been recreated using computers by Minecraft modelling firm Fyre UK. The UN plans to restore the playground is soon available to those who live nearby.
Virtual visits
Minecraft is set in a universe made of cubes, each one of which is composed of a different virtual material like stone, dirt, iron ore, diamond and so on. The game requires you to stack the cubes and then break them into their basic materials. This lets you create artifacts and objects.
The ease at that the real world could be modelled in Minecraft inspired UN Habitat to approach Mojang to help with its plans for urban regeneration, said Ms Winters.
By 2016 300 of the areas UN Habitat plans to remodel will be recreated in Minecraft which will allow those who live in the areas to be involved in how their locale will change.
Ms Winters said, "It's bringing together decision makers and youth to come up with a common ground for public places around the world."
Details about the project were made public at the Minecon conference that took place in Paris between 24 and 25 November.
