The first statement is incorrect:
"Urbanization will allow for better ecosystems and food webs due to better availability of resources."
Why: urbanization generally fragments and degrades habitats, reduces biodiversity, increases pollution and invasive species, and simplifies food webs. While some species (urban exploiters) can benefit from new resources, that produces altered or simplified — not “better” — ecosystems. The other three statements describe real, common consequences of urbanization.
