The Circular Design in Action: Practices and Research conference - organized by Department Architecture and Design of University of Genova - invited scholars, researchers, designers, and practitioners to share their insights and innovative approaches in Circular Design. This event has been part of the CiD Project – Circular Design for Bio-based Innovation towards Climate-Neutral Cities, an initiative fostering sustainable solutions in architecture, product design, and urban transformation. In an era of pressing environmental challenges, design plays a fundamental role in shaping a sustainable future. The conference explored circular economy principles, bio-based materials, and innovative design methodologies that drive the transition toward carbon-neutral cities. Participants had the opportunity to showcase research, methodologies, and practical applications that redefine how materials, products, and built environments are designed, produced, and regenerated, within two tracks: + Track 1: Design for change + Track 2: Circular Cities
