Urban decision-making requires integrating heterogeneous spatial data. While current GIS tools handle geometric computation efficiently, they lack the semantic reasoning to guide complex workflows. Analysts manually manage data discovery, spatial boundaries, and measurement semantics, risking aggregation errors. We present UrbanTrace, a visual analytics system that transforms manual spatial data-wrangling into a transparent, node-based collaborative workflow with context-aware AI agents. Using an offline profiler to extract semantic and geometric metadata, UrbanTrace grounds LLMs in real-world data distributions. This enables specialized agents to retrieve datasets based on high-level goals and automatically enforce valid spatial aggregations. To make harmonization explicit, three interactive views: an Integration Provenance Graph, Multivariate Priority Map, and Spatial Delta Map, allow users to explore how conclusions shift across spatial configurations. We evaluate UrbanTrace on 28 urban scenarios spanning 112 datasets. Quantitative ablations show our profiling significantly outperforms baseline LLMs in data discovery, achieving 100% semantic and 87% geometric validity in spatial mapping. Through real-world case studies and expert interviews, we demonstrate that UrbanTrace turns spatial aggregation sensitivity from a methodological burden into an exploratory visual asset.
