This paper focuses on the rise of urban geopolitics as an interdisciplinary research field within the discipline of human geography and uses the method of systematic literature review to sort out the progress of this field. Based on the systematic review, this paper finds that the current research in this field has shown a gradually increased tendency in attention since 2009, and the research content is also increasingly systemizing. From the literature analysis, this paper finds that the core research content of urban geopolitics can be understood from the following three main aspects: (1) urban geopolitics focuses on the changes in physical space experienced by cities in the context of global geopolitical changes, with particular reference to the (re)production of urban space as reflected in the physical landscape, urban spatial structure, and urban infrastructure in relation to issues such as war, large-scale conflict, ethnic conflict, counter-terrorism, and current colonialism; (2) urban geopolitics focuses on the linkages between geopolitical elements and urban social environment, including the impact of geopolitics on urban social space, urban everyday space, and urban governance, as well as how urban social events take part in the relevant geopolitical agenda; (3) urban geopolitics focuses on the discussion of spatial imagination and discourse related to geopolitics or cities derived from the linkage between geopolitical elements and cities. The results of systematic literature analysis show that although the current study of urban geopolitics is increasingly systematic, there are still shortcomings such as insufficient theoretical construction, relatively single-case categories, and obvious Euro-American centrism trend in research perspective. Therefore, this paper proposes that the future study of urban geopolitics can be expanded from the deep construction of theories, the diversification of research cases, and the adding of research perspective from Global South, so as to supplement and perfect its theory, concept, and method system. This paper also proposes a broader agenda to re-examine existing theories and concepts through the increasing attention to China's rich case studies, which will be an important agenda for future urban geopolitics studies.
