Tactical urban planning, which depends upon quick and participatory interventions within small-scale areas, creates a platform for citizen creativity and, by reinforcing neighborhood resilience, redefines models of urban sustainability. This study aims to provide a systematic and comprehensive overview of the composition and research trends within the area of tactical urban planning from a bibliometric perspective. Based on data from 764 papers listed in the Web of Science database between 2000 and 2025 and utilizing VOSviewer software, three bibliometric maps (network, temporal, and density) were created and analyzed. The findings indicated that tactical urban planning, as an innovative and participatory strategy, occupies the center of the theoretical network of urban planning and urbanism scholarship, with deep connections to concepts such as public space, urban policy, and innovation. The temporal trends of papers indicate a significant increase in concern with issues such as participatory design, smart urbanization, and urban resilience in recent years. Moreover, the density map indicated that priority of investigations is assigned to the axes of tactical urban planning interaction with sustainable development, and citizen involvement. Identifying thematic clusters, scientific collaboration networks, and knowledge gaps, this article provides an overall view of the existing status and further research directions within the area. Researchers and urban policymakers can use it to improve urban quality of life and promote sustainable development.
