In recent decades, with the emergence of new urban issues and problems, livability has been introduced as a guide to minimize social, economic, physical, environmental, and other issues and problems. Accordingly, the present study aims to identify the dimensions and components of urban livability using a meta-synthesis approach. This study is applied-developmental in terms of its objective and employs a qualitative methodology with an emphasis on the meta-synthesis qualitative method. The tools for data collection were library and documentary methods, and its statistical population includes all livability and urban livability studies from 2012 to 2023. The initial articles extracted from database searches totaled 143, of which 30 were excluded due to publication year, 23 were excluded based on title, and after final screening of the remaining articles based on the KESP control checklist and their scoring, 27 articles were selected as the final articles for evaluation and coding and were coded using MAXQDA software version 2020. In the present study, 208 codes were identified and extracted in the form of 34 concepts and 7 categories, including social, economic, infrastructural, functional, physical-spatial, environmental, and managerial categories. It is noteworthy that the highest frequency and emphasis in the reviewed studies was on the urban infrastructure dimension with 317 code frequencies, and the lowest was on the functional dimension with 42 codes. Therefore, it is recommended that future studies focus on explaining livability indicators and criteria based on local conditions and context and conduct a thorough examination of other dimensions of urban livability
