This study examined the international research trends in green gentrification research and analyzed the influence of, and connection between, literature, authors, institutions, and countries through quantitative bibliographic analysis. Since it was first described in 2009, green gentrification has been studied in various fields such as sociology, agriculture, environmental science, ecology, and public administration as well as urban studies. Environmental justice has the highest degree centrality and betweenness centrality among all keywords in the green gentrification-related literature, indicating that is a key topic for studies of green gentrification. The clustered keywords showed that green gentrification research focuses on topics connected to “urban greening and environmental justice (equity),” “green infrastructure, ecological services and urban sustainability,” and “climate adaptation, resilience and climate justice.” At the national level, the United States has most to green gentrification research. However, among research institutes, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in Spain is responsible for the most research and has the greatest influence on related academic fields. Given the impact of environmental factors on urban housing, housing selection conditions, and housing costs, green gentrification may already exist in South Korea, and attention from academics and policy makers is needed.
