Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) Literature in South East Europe

This paper analyzes the academic literature on sustainable cities and communities (related to Sustainable Development Goal 11) produced in the South East European (SEE) region in the 2017–2022 period. From the theoretical viewpoint, the SDG-11-related body of literature covers sustainable urban housing, transport, as well as urban planning and management. We identify the most productive and influential regional authors, institutions, and countries, by using the bibliometric approach, based on the Elsevier Scopus data and the Elsevier SciVal research intelligence software. In addition, we map, identify, and visualize clusters of regional literature on sustainable cities and communities.
