Urban biodiversity exists in parks, street plantings, private gardens, vacant lots and along waterways. With development, urban environments can change quickly and dramatically because they are designed, constructed, managed and controlled by humans. It is important to understand the impacts and interactions of humans, the built form, and residual and emergent biodiversity.

Soil and its management is a fundamental part of any development project. Soil type, structure, and chemistry all need to be given due consideration – at the design stage, during development works, and following completion, in order to ensure that environmental values are not compromised, that contaminated or particularly reactive soils are not disturbed in such a way as to harm the environment, and that development features including landscaping, buildings, dwellings and structures are not compromised by changes to soil characteristics, such as moisture content, or soil chemistry.
