The structure of cities changes over time with various interactions. Urban regeneration strategies have an important place among these factors. This significantly affects the transformation process seen in many cities around the world. It changes the morphological structure of cities and substantially affects their socio-economic and cultural structure and climatic characteristics. This article aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation for future studies in this field while seeking answers to the question, "How does urban transformation affect urban morphology?". In this context, the study first addresses relevant definitions and historical background of urban regeneration and discusses the main approaches to urban morphology. Studies on the effects of urban regeneration on urban morphology in social, cultural, environmental, and climatic terms are analyzed with a bibliometric method. From the Scopus database, 4213 studies in the "urban morphology" field were identified, and 519 studies were reached by narrowing down the words urban regeneration, urban renewal, urban transformation, and urban redevelopment. The data obtained from Scopus were analyzed using the VOS Viewer program for keywords, citations, country, journal activity, and co-occurrence. The results revealed that urban morphology is a field that offers various approaches and valuable methods that examine the physical, environmental, and social aspects of urban transformation that can be used in multidisciplinary research.
