The urban population is expected to account for 60% of the total global population by 2030. As well as the cities are among the world's largest contributors to carbon emissions and resources consumption. Statistics show that cities are responsible for approximately 70% of global carbon emissions and consume over 60% of the world's resources. In this study, a bibliometric analysis is conducted using Web of Science (WoS) database to filter the publications and VOSviewer to visualise the data. The publications analysed according to the research areas under different headings. These headings include the titles, study subjects, document types and sources, publications number of countries and organisations, authors and co-authorship analysis, keyword analysis, and a focus on the top 10 most cited publications between 2010 and August 2024.used to analyse these publications. The findings outline the novel approach to resilient urban areas and green spaces in the context of urban planning and sustainability, as well as the potential in the sector. It is anticipated that this research will aid in the development of more theoretical and practical efforts to be used in this sector, as well as aid researchers and policymakers in understanding the consequences of policies for resilient and sustainable cities.
