A circular economy approach is being increasingly applied to the redevelopment of parks and urban spaces, focusing on reusing materials and managing resources like water more effectively. Experts highlight the significant amount of construction and demolition debris generated globally each year, emphasizing the need for systems to recycle materials like concrete. Examples of this approach include New York's High Line, which adapted an existing structure, and Mexico City's Cuitláhuac Park, built on a former landfill with integrated water management and recycled materials. London's Crystal Palace Park restoration also exemplifies this by reusing soil, repurposing lighting columns, and refurbishing furniture. AI
