Abstract
In light of climate change and global sustainability challenges, the forest and timber construction sector offer opportunities for positive change. The aim of this project was to establish a Vision for a sustainable and resilient future society and pave the Pathway by setting up research agendas and policy proposals for research and development in the utilization of wood in urban environments from both local and global perspectives. This was achieved through substantial discussions among various stakeholders with varying backgrounds in local workshops (Japan, Australia, and Sweden) and a global workshop in Japan in November 2024. Seven topics were identified as crucial for urban transition with wood. The Vision and Pathway of these seven topics was developed and synthesized as a Resolution with the intent to serve as a basis for upcoming international research and education collaborations within and beyond the expert community of this project.
