Methodology: The research adopts an applied, descriptive approach using quantitative scientometric methods. Data were collected from the Web of Science database (2000–2024). After multi-stage screening, 48 relevant documents were selected. VOSviewer software was used to analyze keyword co-occurrence, author co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and international co-authorship networks. Thresholds for inclusion were set based on established scientometric criteria to ensure analytical accuracy. Findings: Results show a marked increase in research on urban prosperity following the 2013 UN-Habitat declaration, with publication peaks in 2019 and 2023. Frequently associated concepts include urban planning, sustainability, indicators, climate change, and sustainable development. UN-Habitat, Yigitcanlar, and Wong emerged as central contributors in the co-citation network. Influential journals include Habitat International, Sustainability, and Land. International collaboration patterns highlight China's leading role, while Iran demonstrates a growing but limited contribution. Conclusion: Urban prosperity has developed into a dynamic, interdisciplinary research domain closely tied to measurable indicators, sustainable development, and forward-looking urban planning. The field holds strong potential for future research. Expanding international collaborations, developing localized prosperity indicators, and integrating climate-responsive approaches are recommended for advancing both scientific understanding and policy-oriented applications.
