As the constant global warming, high temperature calamity in cities has affected human settlements and threatened human health. In order to summarize the research progress of how urban planning deals with the high temperature disasters, the paper searched related literatures based on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science, and extracted by utilizing the method of Meta-analysis and the software of Citespace. The results show that urban high temperature disaster study originates from the urban heat island, and then developes in the aspect of climate change, and finally becomes a research on urban high temperature disasters. Under the two main themes of mitigation strategy and adaptive strategy, the main approaches in urban planning are land use, spatial structure, traffics, landscape and architecture, and each approach is divided into a number of strategies. There are obvious deficiencies in urban planning system, special planning and effectiveness evaluation. In theory, we should strengthen the construction of urban planning system and building evaluation systems. In practice, we should formulate the planning standards for dealing with high temperature disasters, and establish urban planning and design methods for climate-friendly cities, so as to provide references for the building of resilient cities.
