The BIODENCITY project aims to counter biodiversity decline through innovative urban densification strategies, integrating urban greening within dense city environments. Recognizing that urban densification often leads to reduced green spaces and biodiversity loss, the project challenges conventional urban planning practices, which primarily focus on decarbonizing cities. Instead, it proposes a balanced approach that combines built density with enhanced urban greening to support both biodiversity and planetary health. While urban densification strategies often overlook the finer scales at which biodiversity operates, this project aims to fill that knowledge gap through three key innovations: 1) Focus on Biodiversity within Dense Urban Environments, 2) Advanced Bio-Sensing, Co-Monitoring, and Structured Mapping, and 3) Co-Creation of Policies and Planning Interventions.
