“…According to the World Urbanization Prospects report, the urban population corresponds to 3.9 million people, about 54 % of the total world population, and may reach 66% by 2050 (DESA United Nations 2015). Urbanization is a global trend that oftentimes leads to soil sealing, deforestation and habitat fragmentation, requiring integrated management of anthropic and natural issues to achieve healthy and sustainable cities (Adler & Tanner 2015, Aronson et al 2017, Bressane et al 2017b, Ribeiro et al 2018. It is widely acknowledged that green areas not only contribute to biodiversity conservation but that they also provide environmental quality in urban landscapes (Zhou & Wang 2011, Sperandelli et al 2013, Andersson et al 2014, Kabisch & Haase 2014, Gavrilidis et al 2017, Meerow & Newell 2017, Bressane et al 2018b, Rocha & Mussury 2020.…”
