Unlike traditional evaluations, our study applies the novel SWARA-WASPAS model to spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs), thus identifying and navigating the uncertainty present in decision making. This methodological approach improves the accuracy of our assessment by providing detailed information about the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Our study offers useful insights for urban policymakers and planners using carefully weighted criteria and employing a methodical ranking procedure. The aim is to provide insights for decisions that promote equity, environmental consciousness, resilience, and symmetry in urban environments. The application of the SWARA-WASPAS approach not only advances the field but also provides a strong basis for informed decision making. This improves the accuracy of our evaluations and provides detailed insights into each option\u2019s pros and cons. Our study uses weighted criteria and systematic ranking to advise urban policymakers and planners. Our main goal is to help urban populations make resilient, environmentally responsible, equitable, and symmetrical decisions. Our research aims to further the conversation on sustainable urban development by offering a framework based on data that addresses the difficulties associated with dynamic urban environments. In the end, we want our humanized viewpoint to speak to a wider audience and inspire a shared dedication to creating cities that flourish in the face of changing urban environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16060670","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T10:06:01Z","timestamp":1717409161000},"page":"670","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Advancing Sustainable Urban Development: Navigating Complexity with Spherical Fuzzy Decision Making"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Mohd","family":"Anjum","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh 202002, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9099-0890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong","family":"Min","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing, Gachon University, Seongnam 13120, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Gaurav","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Seth Jai Parkash Mukand Lal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Radaur 135133, India"}]},{"given":"Zubair","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1016\/j.habitatint.2014.06.019","article-title":"Quality of urban life & environmental sustainability studies: Future linkage opportunities","volume":"45","author":"Marans","year":"2015","journal-title":"Habitat Int."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"484","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sbspro.2013.08.377","article-title":"A framework for assessing sustainable urban development","volume":"85","author":"Bakar","year":"2013","journal-title":"Procedia-Soc.
