The proliferation of private cities globally has spurred academic interest in understanding this evolving urban phenomenon. This paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on private cities, aiming to elucidate key trends, thematic priorities, and collaborative networks within the literature. Employing bibliometric methodologies, data was collected from online academic sources and analyzed using VOSviewer software. The results reveal a sustained increase in publications on private cities since 2012, indicating a growing scholarly interest. Publications predominantly consist of journal articles, reflecting a preference for in-depth analyses. The research spans various subject areas, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of private city studies. The analysis identifies the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany as leading contributors to the literature, with diverse representation from emerging economies like India, Brazil, and Indonesia. Additionally, academic institutions such as Universitas Pembangunan Jaya and The University of Sheffield have emerged as prominent contributors. Notable researchers include Ablo, Barbieri, and Biswas, among others. Network visualizations reveal distinct thematic clusters, covering topics ranging from settlement patterns and social capital to new industry cities and healthy cities. The findings underscore the global socio-economic, environmental, and governance dynamics shaping private urban development. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of private cities' significance in contemporary urban studies and offers insights for future research directions and policy considerations. The study's main implications emphasize the need for urban policy frameworks that integrate interdisciplinary approaches and international collaboration for sustainable development in private cities.
