The Schools Reinventing Cities programme in London is part of Design Future London, a city-wide challenge for students aged 11–24+. Students were challenged to design ideas to the prompt of:
How can we reimagine Croydon town centre to make it a greener, safer and a more prosperous place for everyone?
Both primary and secondary school students were given the chance to use Minecraft to build solutions that revitalise Croydon Town Centre, an area designated as an ‘Opportunity Area’ in London.
The challenge covered the themes important to Croydon:
- How can we create high streets that work for all?
- How can we build homes for Londoners?
- How can we improve sustainable transport, green energy and community spaces?
- How can young people be empowered to imagine the next generation of good, green jobs?
