Spatial planning for urban biodiversity conservation

该项目将降低城市发展过程中生物多样性规划的复杂性，使工业和政府能够可视化和衡量不同城市设计的潜在表现。该项目预计将创建一个新的开放式在线工具，以便对城市生物多样性保护行动进行空间规划。该项目的预期成果包括提高开发商、环境顾问和地方政府在一系列尺度上衡量潜在城市生物多样性成果的能力。这将通过提高城市自然保护和恢复的效率，为人类福祉带来重大惠益。

This project will reduce the complexity of planning for biodiversity during urban development by enabling industry and government to visualise and measure the potential performance of different urban designs. This project expects to create a new open-access online tool to allow spatial planning of urban biodiversity conservation actions. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced capacity for developers, environmental consultants and local governments to measure potential urban biodiversity outcomes at a range of scales. This should provide significant benefits to human well-being by increasing the efficiency of urban nature conservation and restoration in cities.
