“…This approach should consider socio-economic factors, for example, the morphological and chemical characteristics of the soil, the impacts of extreme weather events, and the potential use of solid waste for energy generation and cooling (Udomsri et al, 2011;Upadhyay et al, 2021;Olivero-Lora et al, 2022). Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that urban resource planning concepts are equitable and accessible to all, regardless of education or economic power (Muñoz-Erickson et al, 2014;Martinuzzi et al, 2021;Takakura and Massi, 2021).…”

Tropical regions are known for their complex ecosystems and biodiversity, which play a vital role in regulating the global climate. However, researching tropical cities can be challenging due to the need for multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional approaches. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to gain a structured understanding of the developments and characteristics of tropical cities research in the last decade. We identified the fundamental influences in tropical cities research, based on four major sub-topics: climate change, sustainable urbanization, protecting biodiversity, and urban resource management. We examined the connections between these themes and performed a systematic literature review on each. Our analysis provides a comprehensive trend analysis of tropical cities, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Our findings aim to provide a solid foundation for bridging the gaps for future crosscutting research.

“…In Latin America, in Bogotá (Colombia), the spatial distribution of high size and highdensity urban trees are linked with lower occurrence of homicides, discussing how urban forest can provide ecosystem service or disservice depending on municipal structure and management of these spaces (Escobedo et al, 2018). Tree canopy studies that mapped tree cover distribution and its relationship with socioeconomic characteristics were developed in the Caribbean, in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic), where the socio-economic status was not positively associated with tree canopy cover (Martinuzzi et al, 2021), and in San Juan (Puerto Rico) where socioeconomic variables had a important explanatory hole in spatial variation of urban tree cover .…”

“…Although, is important considered that these theories were developed for Europe and North American cities, and their application on Latin American cities should requires care and adaptation, once factors as cultural differences, socioeconomic deprivation and income rates, organization crime, and the lack of a state presence are strong characteristics of this cities and can be milder in for Europe and North American cities Martinuzzi et al, 2021).…”
