Abstract

This study examines the biodiversity present in urban green spaces across three major cities: London, Tokyo, and São Paulo. By employing a combination of field surveys and remote sensing techniques, we assessed the species richness and ecological health of these urban environments. Our findings indicate that while urban green spaces serve as crucial refuges for biodiversity, their effectiveness is significantly influenced by factors such as size, management practices, and connectivity to other natural areas. The study highlights the need for city planners to integrate biodiversity considerations into urban development plans to enhance urban ecological networks and promote sustainable urban living.
