This bibliometric analysis aimed to assess the trends and impact of publications published between 2003 and 2023 in the area of sustainable cities and communities. This analysis uses the Scopus database and is reviewed using Microsoft Excel and VOS Viewer. This study uses 8129 documents which are then sorted into 3144 articles from 2003 to 2023, then the number of papers used for analysis is 1954. We recognized that the United Kingdom and the United States were the pioneers of early sustainable cities and communities research, whereas China and Spain have recently emerged as global engines of research in the field. Sustainable cities and communities research initially concentrated on urban development before shifting to smart cities. Initially, researchers looked into sustainable cities and communities (i.e., renewable energy and waste management) from a city planning standpoint. The most recent research phase, however, focuses on the social aspects of sustainable cities and communities, as defined by keywords such as community participation and governance approach. Furthermore, the introduction of sustainable development goals has accelerated the evolution of sustainable development goals research and has remained the most widely used technological advancement, aside from managing waste disposal and handling climate change. As the social aspects of sustainable cities and communities research have grown in importance, new methods have emerged. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
