Resumen: La geografía ciudadana es una disciplina fundamental para comprender cómo se distribuye, migra y organiza la sociedad humana en el espacio, especialmente frente a fenómenos contemporáneos como el acelerado crecimiento urbano y los desafíos ambientales. En este contexto, el presente estudio analiza la producción académica en esta área mediante un enfoque cienciométrico, utilizando datos provenientes de las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science. Se identificaron un total de 591 documentos publicados entre 2004 y 2024. El análisis permitió reconocer los temas más relevantes, así como los países, autores y revistas con mayor volumen e influencia, y rastrear la evolución del interés científico a lo largo del tiempo. El Reino Unido lidera en producción científica (20 % de las publicaciones y más del 55 % de las citaciones), seguido por Estados Unidos (19,36 %) y China (11,7 %). Entre los autores más influyentes se encuentran Halfacree K, Findlay A y Boyle P, quienes han conformado sólidas redes de colaboración, principalmente dentro de instituciones del Reino Unido y Australia. En contraste, algunos autores como Noin D presentan baja visibilidad a pesar de su productividad. En cuanto a las revistas más destacadas, Population, Space and Place y Progress in Human Geography (ambas ubicadas en el cuartil Q1 del Scimago Journal Rank) sobresalen como referencias clave para la difusión del conocimiento en este campo. Finalmente, se identifican tres fases en el desarrollo de la disciplina: una fase inicial (2004–2010) con impacto limitado, un periodo de crecimiento sostenido (2011–2017), y una fase de consolidación y expansión (2018–2024), con una tasa media de crecimiento anual del 2,47 %. Estos hallazgos evidencian el avance de la disciplina y su creciente importancia para la planificación territorial, el desarrollo urbano y el diseño de políticas públicas basadas en evidencia científica.
