Analysis of International Scientific Production on Cities and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Cities are mainly characterized by having massive numbers of people and occupying most of the world's production and consumption, to the same extent that they harbor several urban environmental and social problems. This article aims to analyze the international scientific production on the SDGs from the perspective of Cities. An exploratorydescriptive research was carried out and, using VosViewer and CitNetExplorer, an analysis was made of the bibliometric networks that characterize the international production on the subject. The content of the works with the greatest impact in the field under development was verified. The results point to the formation of clusters of authors, organizations and countries - although the dispersion in the networks is noticeable, as a result, apparently, of the contemporary theme. The most prominent terms revolve around the keywords listed as the focus of the study. As for works of impact in the field, Factor H pointed to 5 publications. The main one was Defining a Global Urban Development Agenda, by Pernell (2016).
