Popis: The purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis to understand the performance and scientific information of previous research on urban resilience to climate change. Using the Web of Science and the Scopus database, we have identified 783 articles from 2007 to 2023 after applying different selection criteria. The descriptive result indicates that research on urban resilience to climate change started after 2010, and most of the published documents, authors, and institutions are from the United States. The outcome also shows that the Sustainability, Cities, and Urban Climate journal is the top source for urban resilience to climate change literature. The science mapping analysis demonstrates that urban governance, vulnerability, and green infrastructure are the most often recurring words in the literature, and intra-country collaboration is more common than inter-country collaboration. Finally, this study finds that the existing body of literature is conceptual, focusing on stormwater management and flood resilience. Thus, this study suggests that more research on energy efficiency, green parks, green buildings, institutional functioning, and intergovernmental cooperation may be possible.
