Review of Vertical Greening Research in China in the Past Decades——Visual Map Analysis Based on CiteSpace
By using Citespace software,578 Chinese journal literatures on vertical greening research collected in CNKI Chinese academic journal database from 2013 to 2023 were visually analyzed,and knowledge maps such as core authors,major research institutions,keyword co-occurrence and keyword clustering were drawn.The research progress and research trend of vertical greening in China were analyzed.The results show that the research institu-tions in the field of vertical greening in China are relatively independent,involving architecture,urban and rural planning and landscape architecture.The research on vertical greening mainly focuses on the application of verti-cal greening,garden design and green energy saving,among which the software prediction and simulation in green energy saving has become a research hot spot in recent years.In the future,research institutions should strengthen cooperation,further explore the application of vertical greening in more scenarios,integrate garden design and green energy saving technology,use intelligent software prediction and simulation method,innovate vertical greening materials and design concepts,improve the energy saving efficiency of greening,and jointly promote the development of this field.
