Rapid increase of urbanization rate appearing across the world, cities are becoming less and less sustainable with each coming day. Therefore, there is an urge to envision sustainable cities and implement strategies to reach higher levels of sustainability, but also it is increasingly important to find out what factors have an influence on sustainability in the urban context. Notwithstanding the growing amount of literature on the topic of sustainability, it is still not clear what components impact it. This paper presents a review of urban sustainability factors literature that is to identify which ones are the most common and considered to be the most important. It is found out that urban sustainability in general lacks a unified framework and mostly bases on the traditional three-pillar-ofsustainability model. After the analysis of 28 literature sources 14 factors impacting urban sustainability have been identified.
