TL;DR: It is argued that contemporary processes of extended urbanisation, which include suburbanisation, post-suburbanisation and peri-urbanisation, may result in increased vulnerability to infectious disease spread and it is called for future research on the spatialities of health and disease to pay attention to how variegated patterns of extendedurbanisation may influence possible outbreaks and the mechanisms through which such risks can be alleviated.
