Answer 2

The effect of deforestation due to urbanization is partly to lose habitat for wildlife that lived in the forest and also it can increase erosion if it is on a mountainside with somewhat steep terrain, for example. On the other hand, once a new section of city is developed properly, it may have have new parks which can provide some habitat for small animals like squirrels and also birds.
