This presentation describes the process of a Regen-IT people workshop. Regen-IT requires 6 teams to take responsibility for the regeneration of neighbourhoods in a virtual community. They have to deal with the differing issues of crime, transport, health, community wellbeing, economic prosperity, unemployment, housing, and the environment. Regen-IT has been delivered in housing associations, commissioning events and LAA engagement programmes.
