The aim of this paper is to analyse knowledge related to urban management developed to sustain the energy transition, to reveal their relationship under three structures: conceptual, intellectual, and social. In this regard, the authors synthesized key aspects that define both concepts, through an extensive literature review, establishing in this way the first items for conducting a search within the Web of Science database. The configuration of the search is described within the research methodology, which is a fundamentally sound section of the paper, well-structured, and detailed. The most relevant findings that may be emphasized are related to the following: revealed low degree of international collaboration for authors, distribution of scientific productivity that follows Lotka’s law, and “management” as an emerging theme, while “energy”, “transitions”, and “cities” as motor themes. The knowledge structure analysis also generates keywords and thematic maps, a dendrogram, a co-citation network, and a country collaboration map, all revealing insights of the research in question. The contribution brought by this paper consists in providing useful information for future review studies using bibliographic data, in shaping a view of the urban management—energy transition nexus in the scientific world and in creating a path for further studying their dynamic.
