"Old graveyards are a forgotten land asset that can find new life as urban
parks in crowded cities. As the density of our cities increases, efficient use
of urban land becomes paramount. In particular, land for urban parks becomes
more important and harder to find.
Church graveyards are one of the land assets left behind as dead space in our
cities. Most were closed decades ago as the burial industry created cemeteries
and memorial gardens away from churches.
Large necropolises are now being re‑imagined as urban parks while continuing as
active burial grounds. In contrast, dormant graveyards are largely overlooked
as urban pocket parks. Yet these sites are often found in some of the most
densely populated parts of cities."
