Compared to modern cities, historical cities of fragile urban fabric are more vulnerable to natural hazards and climate change. Many existing academic publications have respectively studied urban climate risk and historical urban landscape management, but rare has systematically analysed studies across the two fields. This article provides a thorough understanding of how studies of urban climate and historical urban landscape inform and overlap with each other in a global scope from 1995 to 2021. The main aim is to raise academic awareness of the importance of addressing climatic issues in historical urban landscape studies and incorporating the proper cultural practices from the past into future urban climate management. This research finds a series of gaps in current literature, including insufficient academic attentions in this field, lack of collaborations across disciplines, isolation of cultural and natural knowledge, lack of inclusiveness of climatic topics and case areas. More research should, instead of focusing purely on urban climate, integrate inter-disciplinary and trans- disciplinary findings addressing climatic, social, economic, and cultural issues in the development of historical urban landscape and discuss possibilities of their practical implementation.
