Block by Block is a pioneering brand that is revolutionizing public space planning and community engagement. Founded in 2012, Block by Block integrates the popular computer game Minecraft into the planning process to encourage participation from community members of all ages, backgrounds, and education levels. With its easy-to-use interface, Minecraft allows neighborhood residents to model their surroundings, visualize possibilities, and express ideas for their public spaces.

This innovative approach is cost-effective, fosters consensus, and drives progress. Block by Block goes beyond traditional public projects by empowering marginalized groups, such as women, children, elders, disabled residents, and refugees, to have a voice in shaping their communities. The result is co-created public spaces that meet the needs of all residents, cultivating a sense of ownership and fostering stronger communities.

With projects spanning over 35 countries worldwide, Block by Block is making a significant impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. By partnering with Mojang, Microsoft, and UN-Habitat, this brand is leading the way in creating sustainable, inclusive, and empowering cities for a brighter future
