Answer:

Urbanization decreases biodiversity. Land development reduces the size of habitats and affects the availability of resources. Larger habitats have a greater potential for biodiversity. If some of the natural habitat is retained, the impact of urbanization may not be as destructive. Assuming human development and its resulting pollution aren’t too extensive, an abandoned urban area could return to its previous ecosystem.
