City Meets Nature: Abandoned Transport Routes Turned Into Parks

Monks Bridge, Leeds, UK

The area to the west of Leeds central station is about to get some New York treatment after planners gave developer Foundation Real Estate permission to convert an abandoned Grade II-listed viaduct into a 300m-long park. The project is part of a £70m scheme that will also create more than 600 homes for rent and private sale on the former steelworks site.
