INTRODUCTION: Urban ecology includes all kind of living organism or biodiversity of species found in that particular region or urban environment. Biodiversity or biological diversity is the diversity of species found on earth. It consist mainly different plants, microorganisms and animals that are present (Cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au, 2017). Urban ecology of any particular region or place depends on distribution of biodiversity of a particular living organism, its abundance and organism’s behaviour pattern, and also their collaboration with existing surrounding and within themselves. Human interaction with the surrounding urban ecology is for both the benefits of biodiversity to human beings and effects of urban development on surrounding ecology …show more content…

Humans are part of natural ecosystem of earth, hence they are inseparable from the nature and its biodiversity of living organism. Every habitation has its own natural ecology, even cities has its own ecosystem which not only occurs in open green spaces and water bodies but also in every element of city and its development. Urban landscape is developed to increase green spaces in cities and spaces of interaction for the people; it’s more focused on planning and designing of the space and attraction to the visitors, and less focused on natural ecology of the place for example plantation of native trees which attracts native birds and its species which prevents the natural biodiversity of the place. Developing urban open spaces without taking natural ecosystem into consideration can end up extinction of particular type of species which cannot adopt it. Hence urban development of place should have integrated approach towards natural ecology, social and use of technology (Davies et al., …show more content…

The bay project is one of the top priority of state, local and city government which is divided into eight sites for development, which are fish market, Wentworth park, Glebe Island, Bays water front promenade, Rozelle bay and bays water ways, White bay, Rozelle rail yards and White bay power station. Each significant site has different polices of development and has different time period (short term and long term) of development. The site selected for this report is Wentworth Park because it already has some existing urban ecology which needs to be prevented and there is a large scope for enhancing unbar ecology or biodiversity of the place. And also it one of the immediate priority for development in the project. Main moto in developing this site is to enhance social interaction and recreation ("Wentworth Park",
