Abstract This article summarizes research regarding urban growth in the world’s biodiversity hotspots. We examined 423 cities in the hotspots in order to identify the degree to which their forecast (2030) peri-urban growth is in direct conflict with remnant habitat and endangered species. As a subset of these 423 cities, we zoomed in on thirty-three of the biggest and fastest growing cities in the hotspots to ascertain the degree to which, as per the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 15, their local planning cultures are inclusive of ‘ecosystem and biodiversity values’. This paper presents the results of this global analysis and also offers a brief discussion of how periurban landscapes have been, but can no longer be, overlooked or underestimated as peripheral territory.

热点城市：识别城郊冲突区

摘要 本文总结了有关世界生物多样性热点地区城市增长的研究。我们检查了热点地区的 423 个城市，以确定他们预测的（2030 年）城市周边增长与残余栖息地和濒危物种的直接冲突程度。作为这 423 个城市的一个子集，我们放大了热点地区最大和发展最快的 33 个城市，以确定根据联合国可持续发展目标 15，它们的地方规划文化在多大程度上包含了“生态系统”和生物多样性价值”。本文介绍了这一全球分析的结果，并简要讨论了城郊景观如何成为但不再被忽视或低估为外围领土。
