The risk of demolition emerges when a building can no longer maintain its original purpose (Physical-, Technological, or Legal obsolescence) or becomes redundant due to changes in demand (Economic-, Functional- or Social obsolescence). Demolition of an existing building can be prevented through circular building adaptation such as refurbishment or adaptive reuse. This study aims to set up a combined MCDM and GIS method that calculates and visualizes buildings at risk of demolition. Overall, the framework shows that it is possible to identify outdated buildings and target circular design strategies toward buildings at high risk of demolition. Municipalities can thereby require building owners or investors to conduct feasibility studies to see if the demolition can be avoided through building adaptation or, if not, focusing on maximizing circular material utilization from future demolished buildings and thereby realizing the idea of ​​'the city as a material bank'.
