Heiwa memorial park built in 1950’s is located in the east area of Nagoya city. This park was established by the reconstruction city plan after WWII. At that time, cemeteries in the central part of the city was relocated to the park. The reconstruction plan by Nagoya was mainly aimed to economic development, but it was impeded by the existence of the cemeteries in the city. And that time, similar plans were progressing in other cities. This paper is written to outline the background of the reconstruction city plan, and especially the cemetery relocation plan. There is an indication that the cemetery relocation in Nagoya was the largest scale as compared to other cities.
