<![CDATA[The rapid pace of global urbanization has intensified the demand for sustainable energy solutions, prompting the integration of renewable energy into urban development plans. This paper explores the critical role of collaborative research in overcoming the challenges associated with transitioning to renewable energy in urban areas, focusing on the contributions of bibliometric analysis. This study uses a bibliometric approach to analyze global research trends, key publications, and influential authors in renewable energy and urban planning. The analysis highlights the growing body of literature, revealing significant clusters of research activity centered around sustainable development, urban planning, and renewable energy technologies. Case studies of cities like Freiburg and San Francisco, which have successfully integrated renewable energy technologies, demonstrate how collaborative approaches can lead to more resilient and sustainable urban environments. Despite significant progress, challenges such as infrastructural investments, retrofitting complexities, and regulatory hurdles remain. The paper emphasizes the importance of continued collaborative research to address these barriers and ensure that the benefits of renewable energy are equitably distributed among urban populations. In addition, the study underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration and public engagement in fostering broader adoption and support of renewable energy technologies. The findings advocate for strengthened partnerships and continued innovation, supported by bibliometric insights, to facilitate the global transition towards sustainable urban energy systems. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of renewable energy research and its critical role in shaping sustainable urban development.]]>
