Abstract

Urban green spaces play a crucial role in enhancing biodiversity within metropolitan areas, which are often densely populated and heavily developed. This study examines the ecological effects of green spaces across major global cities, focusing on their capacity to support diverse plant and animal species. By utilizing a combination of field surveys and remote sensing technology, we assess the richness and abundance of species in urban parks, gardens, and natural reserves. Our findings indicate that well-managed green spaces significantly contribute to biodiversity, offering critical habitats and promoting ecological connectivity. The results highlight the importance of integrating green spaces into urban planning to foster sustainable urban ecosystems.
