本文认为，当代扩展城市化进程，包括郊区化、后郊区化和准城市化，可能导致传染病传播的脆弱性增加。通过对城市化与传染病关系的现有文献的回顾，我们考虑了近郊或郊区这种（潜在的）增加的传染病易感性实际上如何与大都市边缘的社会物质转变辩证相关。我们特别强调了文献中确定的影响传染病传播的三个关键因素：人口变化、基础设施和治理。之所以选择这些主题，是因为这些主题的重要性以及它们在城市边缘形成疾病传播方面的作用。此外，我们建议景观政治生态框架如何有助于检查社会生态转型在近郊和郊区产生传染病风险增加方面的作用。为了说明我们的论点，我们将从世界各地各种重新出现的传染病事件和爆发中吸取例子，以揭示最广泛意义上的扩展城市化如何放大了传染病传播的必要条件。因此，我们呼吁未来对健康和疾病的空间性进行研究，以关注扩展城市化的多样化模式如何影响可能的爆发，以及减轻这种风险的机制。
This paper argues that contemporary processes of extended urbanisation, which include suburbanisation, post-suburbanisation and peri-urbanisation, may result in increased vulnerability to infectious disease spread. Through a review of existing literature at the nexus of urbanisation and infectious disease, we consider how this (potential) increased vulnerability to infectious diseases in peri- or suburban areas is in fact dialectically related to socio-material transformations on the metropolitan edge. In particular, we highlight three key factors influencing the spread of infectious disease that have been identified in the literature: demographic change, infrastructure and governance. These have been chosen given both the prominence of these themes and their role in shaping the spread of disease on the urban edge. Further, we suggest how a landscape political ecology framework can be useful for examining the role of socio-ecological transformations in generating increased risk of infectious disease in peri- and suburban areas. To illustrate our arguments we will draw upon examples from various re-emerging infectious disease events and outbreaks around the world to reveal how extended urbanisation in the broadest sense has amplified the conditions necessary for the spread of infectious diseases. We thus call for future research on the spatialities of health and disease to pay attention to how variegated patterns of extended urbanisation may influence possible outbreaks and the mechanisms through which such risks can be alleviated.
