Sustainable development of cities constitutes nowadays a worldwide goal. Therefore, the related urban and architectural choices must fulfil sustainable objectives. In this context, sustainability assessment presents itself as a key and fundamental element to guide decision-making processes, orienting choices towards actions that make the built environment more sustainable. Among the several existing assessment tools and methods, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) are part of the most widely used approaches to support sustainable decisions. Therefore, this article aims to understand what makes sustainability assessment through MCDA suitable or unsuitable to support decision-making processes in the context of sustainable urban and architectural design and observe how available MCDA methods support this purpose. To do this, a literature review related to MCDA methods in sustainable urban and architectural context has been performed. Descriptive statistics and tables are provided to point out the main trends according to specific research questions. In this sense, it is intended to highlight some potential gaps and points of reflection for future research developments that can support sustainable urban and architectural development.

评估可持续发展：城市和建筑可持续性多标准决策分析回顾

城市的可持续发展已成为当今世界的目标。因此，相关的城市和建筑选择必须实现可持续目标。在这种背景下，可持续性评估成为指导决策过程的关键和基本要素，将选择导向使建筑环境更具可持续性的行动。在现有的几种评估工具和方法中，多标准决策分析（MCDA）是支持可持续决策的最广泛使用的方法的一部分。因此，本文旨在了解是什么使得通过 MCDA 进行可持续性评估适合或不适合支持可持续城市和建筑设计背景下的决策过程，并观察可用的 MCDA 方法如何支持这一目的。为此，我们对可持续城市和建筑背景下的 MCDA 方法进行了文献综述。根据具体的研究问题提供描述性统计数据和表格来指出主要趋势。从这个意义上说，它旨在强调未来研究发展的一些潜在差距和反思点，以支持可持续的城市和建筑发展。
