Sustainable urban development, Bibliometric analysis, Interdisciplinary studies, Territorial planningAbstract
Population growth and urbanization have significant implications for urban spaces' environmental and socio-economic systems, imposing the challenge of promoting sustainable cities on planners. In this sense, environmental planning is important in addressing these issues, promoting efficient use of natural resources, and enhancing human well-being. This study aimed to undertake a systematic review of sustainable cities within the scope of Brazilian environmental planning in the light of geographical literature. Based on articles selected from Scopus, we used bibliometric analysis, by mapping networks to visualize and overlap the cooccurrence of keywords, using Vosviewer. Firstly, we analyzed 101 articles, indexed between 2009 and July 2024, and selected 22 that met all the proposed inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed the greatest co-occurrence of the terms urban planning, sustainability, and those related to environmental planning instruments and geotechnologies as a subsidy to territorial planning. Notably, a significant part of the research involved international collaboration, bridging geographical perspectives with several fields of knowledge and strengthening the scientific dialog to build innovative solutions for the quality of life in cities across economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
