Abstract

This study is a bibliometric analysis of urban studies publications from 2001 to 2021 that unravels the evolution and growing complexity of the field. Although developed regions still dominate and lead this area of inquiry, urban studies led by Asian scholars have increased dramatically over the last decade. There is also topic diffusion from developed regions to less-developed regions despite some unique emphases within each region caused by their local socio-economic-ecological contexts. Climate change adaptation and sustainable development, inequality, and urban governance are receiving growing attention globally. The findings suggest the rising importance of cross-continent knowledge transfer and multi-disciplinary collaboration, particularly among urban studies, sustainability policies and management, public administration, and development studies. Also, urban researchers need to pay more attention to issues faced by many growing cities in developing economies in Asia and Africa as more of the world's population will reside in those urban settings in the coming decades.

城市研究的主题演变:回溯与前进
本研究是对2001年至2021年城市研究出版物的文献计量分析,揭示了该领域的演变和日益增长的复杂性。尽管发达地区仍然主导和引领着这一领域的研究,但亚洲学者领导的城市研究在过去十年中急剧增加。尽管每个地区因其当地的社会经济生态背景而有其独特的侧重点,但也存在从发达地区向欠发达地区的主题扩散。适应气候变化与可持续发展、不平等、城市治理等问题日益受到全球关注。研究结果表明,跨大陆的知识转移和多学科合作日益重要,尤其是在城市研究、可持续性政策和管理、公共行政和发展研究之间。此外,城市研究人员需要更多地关注亚洲和非洲发展中经济体中许多不断增长的城市所面临的问题,因为在未来几十年里,世界上越来越多的人口将居住在这些城市。

期刊介绍: Journal of Urban Management (JUM) is the Official Journal of Zhejiang University and the Chinese Association of Urban Management, an international, peer-reviewed open access journal covering planning, administering, regulating, and governing urban complexity. JUM has its two-fold aims set to integrate the studies across fields in urban planning and management, as well as to provide a more holistic perspective on problem solving. 1) Explore innovative management skills for taming thorny problems that arise with global urbanization 2) Provide a platform to deal with urban affairs whose solutions must be looked at from an interdisciplinary perspective.
