Conurbation


Explanation:
Even though there doesn't seem to be a correspondence for the adjective conurbado, there is one for the noun conurbação, which is conurbation: "an aggregation or continuous network of urban communities"

neutral  philgoddard: We don't have the context, and the question is about two terms, so a 5 seems a bit optimistic

  -> Conurbation has the exact same meaning as conurbação. Of that, I am indeed certain. Given the fact that this term can only mean one thing in both languages, one only needs to apply it correctly.

city or conurbation


Explanation:
As I am not giving a translation of the term being asked, I have put a low confidence level. Anyway
cidades conurbadas de fronteira can be translated as border city, split city or cross-border city, I believe the last one is more common in Europe

neutral  philgoddard: Leapfrog is being used as a verb in most of your references, meaning to overtake other cities. We don't have the context, but we're looking for an adjective.

  -> In most, perhaps. Not in all. And it is the concept that matters here. I am merely trying to help the asker with relevant examples. You do like to "neutralise" just fo the sake of "neutralising", without giving a suggestion yourself. Happy Easter!
