Biodiversity has important implications for the sustainable development of cities. Given paucity ground-based experiments, responses biodiversity to urbanization and its associated controls on a global scale remain largely unexplored. We present novel conceptual framework quantifying direct indirect impacts in 1523 cities worldwide using 100 m grid intactness index data (2017–2020) as proxy biodiversity. The results show pervasive positive impact cities, with mean 24.85 ± 9.97% 16.18 10.92%, respectively. is relatively large highly urbanized eastern United States, Western Europe, Middle East. predominantly influenced by intensity, population density, background climate. correlation between intensity most pronounced across all climate zones, while other driving variables influencing effect exhibited considerable variations. Furthermore, our findings indicate that are conditions Our have understanding future urban
