The Impacts of Urban Form on Carbon Emissions: A Comprehensive Review

As a result of global climate change and urban development, the interaction between form carbon emissions has become frontier issue key area emission research. This paper presents scientometric analysis 2439 academic publications 2002 2021 on to explore current state research future development potential. Citespace VOSviewer were primary tools. The results showed following: (1) number articles published shows an increasing trend, especially after 2012. (2) Scientific institutions authors in developed countries paid attention sooner ecological environment. With deepening economic globalization, developing began pay more (3) Through keyword clusters, timelines, stacked charts, can be divided into following three stages. first is budding stage, which characterized by preliminary atmospheric environmental impact factors. second stage with areas becoming leading object theory. third mature emphasis optimization emissions. (4) Finally, influence includes four main aspects: land use, built environment, transportation networks, patterns.
