China’s urban construction is in the stage of renewal from incremental expansion to stock enhancement, which plays an important role in improving the quality of urban habitat. Taking the three urban planning journals, Urban Planning, Journal of Urban Planning and The Planner, as research samples, we sorted out the research results of the journals on the topic of urban renewal, and used CiteSpace software to conduct visual analysis to analyze the connotation characteristics, research hotspots and development trends of urban renewal. We propose certain references for the future research and practice direction of this field, and promote the development of urban renewal in the direction of higher quality and sustainability.
