Circular Design for Urban Transformation

The CiD Conference Hannover from 28 to 30 May 2026 is a three-day event around a programme of research sessions, discussions, and invited lectures, organised by Territorial Design and Urban Planning, Leibniz University Hannover.

The conference Circular Design for Urban Transformation is an activity of CiD Circular Design Innovation Alliance, co-funded by the European Union. We invite researchers and practitioners to explore how circular approaches can drive urban regeneration beyond linear growth models. As cities increasingly evolve through transformation, regeneration, and adaptation rather than expansion, circularity emerges as a key framework to rethink urban spaces, heritage, governance, and socio-economic processes. Special attention is given to the role skills and flow of knowledge between research, profession, and education, as well as to entrepreneurship.
