EcS is more extensively researched than ScS, with developed regions dominating case studies. While PFC marginally outperforms conventional methods in most EcS and ScS evaluations, critical gaps persist in indicator diversity, stakeholder representation and data availability. Challenges related to methodological immaturity and data availability are discussed in depth, leading to an improvement strategy framework proposal. The discussion emphasises how holistic sustainability assessments, circular economy (CE) principles and alignment with sustainable development goals (SDGs) can position PFC as a driver for sustainable urban development. A future research agenda should prioritise methodological advancements, case-specific studies (e.g. CE), LCSA and SDG-aligned policies and decision support systems to enhance sustainability decision-making in PFC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although environmental sustainability in PFC is well-examined, economic and social dimensions remain underexplored.
