BIODENCITY - Reversing BIOdiversity decline in DENsification strategies using innovative sensing, systemic solutions and data driven CITY modelling for transformative change

The BIODENCITY project aims to develop a roadmap for biodiversity-sensitive urban densification, demonstrating that density and biodiversity are not conflicting goals. The project seeks to generate robust scientific evidence on how urban form and green infrastructure influence biodiversity across different European contexts, and to translate this knowledge into practical tools for urban planning and public policy.

Through open-access datasets, interactive maps, AI-based biodiversity monitoring systems, and design guidelines, BIODENCITY supports cities in integrating biodiversity considerations into planning, design, and decision-making processes. In doing so, the project contributes to the creation of healthier, climate-resilient urban environments and supports the implementation of European biodiversity and nature restoration policies.
