Scientific outputs and research needs through bibliometric mapping of LWC discussion

The results of a conference, in general, are presented in a round table discussion at the end of the work where the various chairmen summarize the topics covered in their sessions. The purpose of this paper is to bring an objective analysis of the most recurrent and investigated topics from the papers written by the researchers for the Conference “Living and Walking in Cities” (LWC2019) and presented in the proceedings publication book. The keywords of the book as a whole and for the three mainstreams that characterized the Conference are analysed with the method proposed by the software VOSviewer (Van Eck & Waltman, 2011). The aim is to identify the most interesting clusters, peculiarities, strengths and the possible future developments for the Conference.
