###### Abstract
Sustainability enables the business to focus on activities that create value in the long term, such as risk management, and to progress in line with the three main goals mentioned by encouraging continuous improvement. Thus, Sustainable Development Goals and risk management should be managed jointly and holistically from a perspective for urban city planning [23]. The contributions of this paper are five-fold. First, business-continuity plans and sustainability are considered simultaneously to improve logistic network operations and reduce risks and disruptions. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, business-continuity plans, renewable energy sources, potential risks, transportation infrastructure, information infrastructure and social criteria have not been considered in the literature for an urban logistics network analysis. Second, the ten main criteria and sixty-six sub-criteria are specified to prioritize weights related to the published paper, official reports and the ten decision makers' opinions. In addition, risk and sustainability criteria are also used to measure logistics network performance. Third, a novel and innovative integrated procedure is presented to evaluate performance pillars and rank the alternatives. A fuzzy-based AHP method is presented using novel linguistic scales and operators. Fourth, the importance of transportation and information infrastructures is examined for logistics operations. Fifth, a case study of the thirty metropolitan cities in Turkiye is provided to select an effective logistic center location with different scenario analyses and compare the previous research in the literature. In addition, Turkiye is selected for the case study due to its strategic geographical importance and the goal of exporting logistics services. The Sustainable Development Goals are also discussed based on the results. Figure 1 presents the flowchart of the study. Specifically, Turkiye's unique position as a transcontinental bridge between Europe, Asia and the Middle East enables it to serve as a pivotal logistics hub in global supply chains. Moreover, Turkiye is a key member of the Middle Corridor initiative, a strategic alternative to both the Northern (Russia) and Southern (Suez) trade routes under China's Belt and Road Initiative. Turkiye's logistics market is expected to experience significant growth over the coming years, driven by increasing infrastructure investments, expanding trade networks and its strategic role in regional and intercontinental supply chains. Furthermore, Turkiye's diverse topography and socio-economic distribution among its 30 metropolitan cities offer an ideal setting to evaluate urban logistics sustainability and risk indicators under varying demographic, environmental and infrastructural conditions--making the results more generalizable to similar emerging economies. Figure 1: The proposed four-phased integrated procedure for assessing urban logistics network alternatives under uncertainty. The procedure explicitly includes the fuzzy-based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for prioritizing sustainability and risk-related criteria and sub-criteria, followed by the TOPSIS method for ranking alternatives. The integration of expert evaluations, fuzzy logic and multi-criteria decision-making ensures a robust framework aligned with the complexity of urban logistics planning. The rest of this paper is organized in the following way. The literature review is explained in Section 2, a detailed way to evaluate logistics sectors. Next, the problem statement and developed four-phased integrated method are exhibited in Section 3 when dealing with uncertainty. Then, the application of the introduced method is presented, including the explanation of the main criteria and sub-criteria, the prioritized weights, the ranking of the cities and a comparison study from the literature in Section 4. Further, managerial implications are discussed in Section 5, including the Sustainable Development Goals. Lastly, the conclusion of the study is given in Section 6.
