This dataset compiles the results of a literature review and analysis that enabled the development of an indicator framework for the characterization of urban systems from a socio-ecological and urban perspective. It is part of the project FOODTRANSITIONS - Transitions towards Global Sustainability and Food Security: Assembling Sustainable and Just Cities TED2021-129660A-I00, funded by the MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 y and the European Union under “NextGenerationEU”/PRTR. It contains 38 documents analyzed, identified through Boolean searches on Scopus and grey literature complemented by the professional experience of the authors. The selected indicators were organised and prioritised based on their frequency and relevance, allowing their subsequent validation through a Delphi process. The files include the list of reviewed documents, the analysis results in Atlas.ti, and the first iteration of the indicator framework.
