Abstract

This article examines the evolution of the relationship between gentrification and urban planning during the period 2018-2023, using a mixed approach that combines bibliometric and scientometric analysis. The study focuses on how urban planning policies have influenced gentrification patterns and the social, economic and environmental dynamics of cities. As gentrification has gained prominence as a mechanism of urban revitalization, it has also raised concerns about the displacement of vulnerable communities and disruption of the social fabric. This analysis provides a comprehensive view of emerging trends in the literature on gentrification and urban planning, highlighting the need for more inclusive and sustainable approaches in urban policy formulation. The main currents of thought and challenges facing contemporary cities were identified, key recommendations were offered to mitigate the negative impacts of gentrification and promote equitable urban development
