Cover Story: Urban planning is multi-disciplinary and includes consideration of social, economic, technological, environmental, and political systems that shape human settlement patterns. Planning researchers publish across these disciplines, with some being more “popular” and having larger audiences, and, therefore, are cited more often. Using nearly 15,000 urban planning publications, this article presents an analysis of topics, assessing which are cited most frequently. The classification of publications was performed using a support vector machine (SVM), a machine learning (ML) approach to text classification, using citation data from Google Scholar. The citation levels for the resulting categories are analyzed and discussed. View this paper.
