The MOVEto0 workshop aims to explore new approaches, methodologies, strategies and policies addressing urban issues such as urban regeneration as an alternative to land transformation and urban expansion, providing useful models to limit urban sprawl and urban sprinkling. Urban regeneration is a complex and integrated process that encompasses various dimensions of citizen well-being (including environmental, social, and economic aspects). It relies on interdisciplinary approaches and aims to enhance the overall quality of urban spaces even in the light of current challenges such as climate change, post-pandemic cities and energy crisis. Urban regeneration here is understood as a comprehensive approach, aiming to achieve urban spatial justice while aligning with the sustainable development goals outlined in the 2030 AGENDA and incorporating disaster risk reduction strategies as dictated by the UNDRR. Focus of "MOVEto0" contributions may include (but is not limited): - Urban sprinkling, urban sprawl and new urban transformation dynamics; - Monitoring and modeling of urban transformation dynamics in dispersed and low-density settlement contexts; - Land cover/land use change and land take; - Indicators for monitoring urban transformation; - Environmental, economic, and social implications of dispersed, low-density settlement configurations; - Analysis of policies and guidelines to manage, control and limit land take with a focus to the future perspectives in view of the achievement of the AGENDA 2030 goals; - Indicator for assessing the sustainability of territorial transformation; - Gender disparity in the urban transformation dynamics; - Urban regeneration processes; - Multi risk scenario - Climate change and urban development.

Systemic Approaches and Dynamic Simulation Scenarios for Sustainable and Circular Construction deadline: March 20, 2026	MPD 2026	Federica Paragliola, University of Naples Federico II, Department of Architecture, Italy Marina Rigillo, Federico II University of Naples DiARC, Italy Maria Anna Segreto, ENEA, Italy	The workshop will provide a space for active, interdisciplinary exchange. It is structured around three thematic focus groups, which are designed to encourage dialogue and discussion, as well as the co-production of knowledge, among researchers, professionals, policymakers and stakeholders across the construction value chain. The initiative aims to promote open and inclusive debate by connecting theoretical frameworks, operational tools, and perspectives from different disciplines. To facilitate participation and organise the discussion, the workshop will be divided into three focus groups, each corresponding to one of the main conceptual and operational axes. Each group will bring together research questions and thematic areas drawn from current debates on sustainable construction, digital innovation, and resource management. Focus Group 1: Sustainable Resource Management and Material Circularity Chair: Marina Rigillo This focus group addresses the responsible management of natural resources and the transition towards circular construction practices. The discussion will explore strategies to reduce pressure on natural resources, optimise material flows across the different phases of the construction cycle and balance the availability of resources with building demand and performance requirements. Contributions may address themes such as circular design principles, design for disassembly, reuse and life extension strategies, and methods for evaluating environmental impacts across the life cycle. Focus Group 2 — Timber Supply Chains, Digitalisation of Construction Processes, and Information Flows for Simulation Scenarios Chair: Federica Paragliola This focus group investigates the use of simulation models and scenario-building approaches to introduce time, feedback and data culture into design processes. Dynamic models, e.g.System Dynamics models, are considered as cognitive tools capable of making visible causal relationships, resource constraints and ESG implications associated with technological and design choices. A key theme is how natural and bio-based materials—particularly timber—and the digitalisation of construction processes can support systemic, data-informed design across all life cycle from the forest to the building. The session focuses on digital workflows, information and supply-chain data integration, and traceability tools enabling transparent, coordinated management of material and information flows. Contributions addressing digital tools, dynamic scenarios, data-driven design methods, modelling of system variables and strategies for linking resource efficiency, technological performance and long-term sustainability are particularly welcome. Focus Group 3: Building Performance Energy Efficiency and High-Performance Materials Chair: MariaAnna Segreto This focus group will examine technologies and methodological approaches for improving the energy performance and long-term resilience of buildings. Topics include strategies for reducing energy consumption; the relationship between materials, technologies, and energy behaviour; and the integration of energy efficiency criteria with whole life cycle management. Contributions may discuss adaptive, performance-based approaches; innovations in high-performance materials; and frameworks for assessing environmental and energy impacts over time. The emphasis will be on solutions that can enhance the environmental quality, resilience and operational efficiency of the built environment. The composition and organisation of the tables may be adjusted or expanded according to the number and type of contributions received, ensuring a flexible yet coherent structure that can accommodate the variety of perspectives from the scientific and professional communities. This adaptability is a key feature of the workshop, which is designed to evolve dynamically in response to emerging needs and interests.
