Historical cemeteries as element of urban planning subject of protection of Saint Petersburg

Historical cemeteries, including both existing and destroyed ones, play a significant role as protected urban planning elements within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saint Petersburg. The study reveals that these cemeteries are integral to the city's historical fabric, yet they often face development pressures due to their proximity to the city center, which enhances their economic attractiveness. The research evaluates current methods for conserving and transforming these sites while maintaining their historical significance. Using archival, bibliographic, cartographic, analytical, and on-field studies, the authors provide a comprehensive analysis of how these cemeteries can be preserved or adapted without compromising their cultural value.
