The CiD Conference Hannover is a three-day event around a programme of research sessions, discussions, and invited lectures.

The conference Circular Design for Urban Transformation – organised by the CiD.CircularDesign Innovation Alliance, co-funded by the European Union – invites 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.
