Abstract: The study aims to draw and analyze the visualization mapping of the international research status of urban agriculture, and identify the hotspots and frontiers and overall evolution path of urban agriculture during 2007 to 2016. It took 487 literatures related to the urban agriculture, which were included in the core collection of Web of Science during 2007 to 2016, fully integrated the advantage of Citespace and VOSviewer visualization software, and carried on the analysis of the co-citation network, the co-occurrence network and the burst- detection. As a new research field, the concern on urban agriculture increased year by year. 5 disciplines including Agriculture/ Multidisciplinary had strong influence. The most influential country was USA, followed by Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom. The most influential institution in the study was Kassel University in Germany. (Zezza A 2010) and other highly cited literatures were the knowledge base of urban agriculture. 15 topic clusters including“Urban and Pen-urban Agriculture”were the hot spots and the frontiers of urban agriculture. The research of urban agriculture mainly experienced 3 stages, and the international research of urban agriculture has entered a new stage taking into account of agriculture production, agriculture ecology and agriculture economy.
