Compact cities or sprawling suburbs? Optimising the distribution of people in cities to maximise species diversity

2018-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Conservation of biodiversity in urban environments depends on species’ responses to the intensity of urban development. “Land sharing” and “land sparing” represent alternate ends of a gradient that conceptualises a trade‐off between the human population and biodiversity. We used a linear optimisation procedure to (a) identify the optimal allocation of land for people and nature, (b) assess whether the optimal allo...
