This study conducts a bibliometric review of related research over the past two decades (1997\u20132023), utilizing 1745 publications from the Web of Science database through network analysis and content analysis. It provides a comprehensive quantitative analysis encompassing publication trends, national and institutional collaborations, and keyword evolution clustering perspectives. The results reveal that (1) academic interest in exploring the implications of the urban built environment on travel behavior has grown markedly, especially in the past decade, with emerging technological approaches and research perspectives; (2) the USA, P.R.CHINA, and the United Kingdom are major research forces in this field, with notable contributions from research institutions in P.R.CHINA and the USA; (3) the \u201cTransportation Research Part\u201d series journals demonstrate extensive influence both in terms of publication count and citation count; (4) through keyword co-occurrence network analysis, three development stages along with five major clusters were identified: travel behavior modeling and public health, active transportation and sustainable development, urban development and carbon emissions, land use and transportation integration, and urban transportation systems and machine learning. Overall, sustained research remains warranted within this field, particularly focusing on selecting new built environment metrics while integrating emerging technologies into travel behavior modeling frameworks. The insights from this study have implications for urban transportation planning and policy, offering guidance on future research directions and policymaking.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12110453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,6]],"date-time":"2023-11-06T01:37:09Z","timestamp":1699234629000},"page":"453","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Bibliometric Insights into the Implications of Urban Built Environment on Travel Behavior"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3158-397X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chao","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710061, China"}]},{"given":"Xinyi","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Planning, Anhui Jianzhu University, Hefei 230601, China"}]},{"given":"Shasha","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Humanities, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710061, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiwei","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710061, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8228-4830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhiyou","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710061, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tra.2019.10.018","article-title":"Transit-Oriented Development: A Review of Research Achievements and Challenges","volume":"132","author":"Ibraeva","year":"2020","journal-title":"Transp.
