    The World Health Organization estimates that asthma will affect 5 % of the global population by 2025 when the number of patients will reach 400 million. In the past ten years, there has been a rise in the number of studies explaining the substantial development of illness in the 21st century (excluding hereditary causes) via urban structure components, and several pieces of evidence have been published on this subject. This study intends to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify urban asthma risk factors. From April to November 2022, databases on PubMed, Scopus, and WoS were examined in this context. Only studies examining asthma and urbanization-related factors were included in the study. 127 articles were examined from 3276 studies obtained from databases. The analysis revealed that the pace of urbanization, air pollution, transportation network components, housing situation, and the locations of industrial regions were the most often highlighted risk factors. As conclusion; several urban factors were shown to have a substantial link with asthma. However, it was suggested that some of the urban risk variables used to define the urban area were insufficient and that the risk factors used to define the urban space should be varied or altered.
