You ask how much wildlife there is in urban and suburban areas to begin with. The wildlife that lives there is all generalist, if a cat takes a mouse, squirrel, starling or blackbird it's a bit bloody but not really important in the great scheme of things.

Zealandia in Wellington, New Zealand has been a key part of a massive change in suburban wildlife. The changes made have resulted in many more birds (including quite rare ones) in the centre of town. https://www.visitzealandia.com/

The butterflies & migrating birds would likely beg to differ.
