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.

Statement of the problem

 The problem of citizens' health has been neglected for many years in developing countries, and the complexity of the problems of cities in recent years, especially worn-out structures, the strategic role of regeneration, and urban health, has increased more than before. Therefore, there is a need to adopt a comprehensive and integrated approach to confront and respond to the problems and issues of cities, especially problematic contexts.

to examine the theoretical approaches of urban health and urban regeneration and develop the conceptual framework of health-ledregeneration.

The research method is a mixed quantitative and qualitative type based on content analysis and Delphi. The research is fundamental and in the theoretical part, 91 articles have been examined and analyzed based on the meta-analyze method.

Health-led regeneration can be defined in four functional-physical, socio-economic, environmental, and physical-psychological categories. Fair access to services, suitable housing conditions, access to public transportation, legibility, liveliness, and a suitable objective view are the most important in the physical-functional field. In the socio-economic field, which can be considered as one of the most important fields of health-led regeneration, there are many influential factors, the most important of which are identity and vitality, appropriate distribution of income, employment, social interactions and it is the general participation of citizens. In the environmental field, factors such as access to green spaces, pollution, and waste management have been taken into consideration. Finally, in the physical-psychological field, factors such as appropriate physical activity, reduction of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, etc., reduction of depression, anxiety an increase of comfort and convenience, happiness, and entertainment have been identified. Health-led regeneration is an integrated and progressive approach to urban regeneration that seeks to involve society while paying attention to all thepsychological and physical dimensions of health and improving the physical, environmental, social, and economic qualities.
