Future studies have attracted the attention of domestic researchers since about a decade ago. This knowledge has not yet been properly institutionalized in the country due to the lack of deepening it in the layers of policy-making, planning, and regulation and the lack of the necessary intellectual and cultural infrastructure, unlike developed countries, its importance and necessity have not been realized. This research aims to review Iranian researchers' studies and identify future studies' indicators. In terms of the type and nature of this research, it is qualitative. It is descriptive and analytical research and has been carried out with a meta-study approach. In this approach, domestic studies and research were first reviewed and 66 final articles were selected. After that, these sources and research were analyzed to select appropriate information. The main information of the texts is extracted in the form of coding and combined with the qualitative findings. Finally, using the extracted codes, the framework of urban future studies is presented. In this framework, four main approaches are identified. A process approach and participatory approach seek to increase the participation and cooperation of stakeholders and advocacies. The holistic and long-term approach seeks to create flexible, resilient, and more practical programs and produce knowledge in the long-term and medium-term programs. A comprehensive and flexible decision-making and planning approach is based on detailed knowledge and analysis of the planning environment. Finally, the approach of preparation for possible futures is based on understanding possible futures and better preparation to face the future.
