N2 - Making cities sustainable is a global commitment. Achieving sustainability in cities demands novel, integrative, and innovative approaches that enable communities to collaboratively anticipate, envision, and negotiate futures and enhance opportunities for sustainable action. Participatory futuring is a promising approach to drive urban sustainability; however, it can take many forms and insights are fragmented across multiple fields, creating an incomplete understanding. This systematic literature review aims to shed light on the existing forms of participatory futuring for urban sustainability and identify potential research directions. Our study identifies how existing research revolves around three forms of participatory futuring, i.e., 1) interdisciplinary expert-driven scenario-building, 2) quadruple-helix futuring informing policy agendas, and 3) public futuring for social learning.
