This bibliometric analysis aims to explore the nexus between these phenomena, examining trends, research gaps, and emerging themes. Urban sprawl is characterized by unplanned and unchecked urban expansion, often linked to significant environmental challenges, including habitat loss, increased carbon emissions, and reduced biodiversity.
