Urban Biogeography

Urban biogeography is the study of how living organisms, including plants, animals, and microbes, interact with their urban environments. It examines how cities impact biodiversity, where different species thrive, and how urban design influences ecosystems. Factors like green spaces, buildings, and pollution shape these relationships. Understanding urban biogeography helps us create healthier, more sustainable cities by promoting biodiversity and improving residents' quality of life. This field bridges urban planning and environmental science, emphasizing the importance of nature even in heavily developed areas.
