By using gaming platforms young people can actively engage in co-designing and modelling their neighbourhood and life within it.

This video shows a workshop delivered by University of Brighton undergraduate students Joe Palmer and Megan Leckie in collaboration with the Community21 Digital Citizenship project. It features use of the ubiquitous platform Minecraft with children building a virtual, replica of their town which they then re-developed in their vision. The town in question is currently undertaking a neighbourhood plan.
