Knowledge Map of Urban Climate Map: A Bibliometric Analysis Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

The process of urbanization is that people pay more and more attention to the sustainable development of cities and pay attention to the consideration of climate and environment in urban planning. Urban climate maps combine urban planning with urban climate and have been proposed since the 1980s. Based on the web of science database, this paper searches for documents published with the subject heading of urban climate maps since their appearance and uses Citespace to visualize the document information. The analysis content includes authors, journals, countries, publishing institutions, and keyword clustering analysis: cited literature analysis and research frontier hotspots. Through the analysis, it is found that the research fields of urban climate maps can be divided into four categories, namely research methods, healthy cities, resilient cities, and ecological bases.
