Resumo(s)
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are a contemporary urban revitalization policy that
has been set in motion through international policymaking circuits. They have been presented as a
panacea to the economic and social challenges facing many cities and traditional shopping districts.
However, a comprehensive overview of the academic literature on this form of local governance
remains to be conducted. Drawing on bibliometric methods and bibliometrix R-tool, this paper
maps and examines the state-of-the-art of academic knowledge on BIDs published between 1979
and 2021. Findings suggest that (i) scientific production has increased since the early 2000s, has
crossed US borders but remains highly Anglo-Saxon-centered; (ii) academic knowledge on BIDs is
multidisciplinary and has been published in high-impact journals; (iii) influential documents on
BIDs have centered on three issues: urban governance/politics, policy mobilities–mutation and
impacts assessment and criticisms; (iv) while author collaboration networks exist, the interaction
between them is limited; (v) the conceptualization of BIDs has changed over time, both in thematic
and geographical focus. These results constitute the first science mapping on the academic literature
on BIDs, and we argue they should inform future scientific debates about the studying of this form of
local governance.
