| Abstract | This study presents a bibliometric analysis of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) research and its application in city development. The fast urbanization and growing complexity of urban management recognize the importance of SDI in supporting sustainable urban planning and innovative city development. This study systematically reviews trends in the publications, key contributors, keywords, and thematic areas of SDI and urban settings. The study uses bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, as well as data from 2003 to 2023. The results show that the number of publications has expanded, and the growth rate in publications has accelerated since 2013, increasing significantly due to geospatial technologies and broadening interest in the concept of smart cities. It identifies the key authors, countries, and collaborative networks that have recognized initiation in the research area. It puts forward the core contributions of Germany, Italy, and Croatia in this field. This research uses keyword co-occurrence and thematic mapping to illustrate dynamic areas of emphasis, including incorporating 3D city models with smart mapping and the application domains of Geographical Information Systems (GISs) and SDI in urban planning. This study further elaborates on other significant developing trends, such as implementing participatory sensing in environmental monitoring and securing SDI within smart city applications. It also highlights enhanced international collaborations toward strengthening the global knowledge base of the challenges in sustainable city development. Hence, this bibliometric analysis is supposed to be used for future research and policy decisions within SDI and city development. Overall, this study will support research by providing a direction for the literature on SDI and city studies and arranging bases for future studies that recommend developing urban resilience and sustainability using the effective practice of geospatial data. © 2025 by the authors. |
