This paper presents the MCDM as a potential method for using in urban planning projects. The CDS project of
22th district of Tehran is used as a case. This project has six visions that each of them has several strategies.
These strategies must be prioritized for being useful for next steps of project. For this, criteria are extracted from
visions, then a hierarchical structure is constructed for weighting them. Because visions have abundant strategies,
ranking by AHP is difficult and vague for experts. So TOPSIS is constructed for priority of strategies and the
weights of criteria that computed by AHP are used in TOPSIS. The AHP implementation steps is simplified by
using the `Expert Choice' and Microsoft Office Excel is used for TOPSIS. This paper presents group decisionmaking
using the AHP and TOPSIS as a hybrid model. The results indicate when the performance ratings are
vague and imprecise, the MCDM methods are preferred solutions. It is hoped that this will encourage the
application of the MCDM by urban planning experts.
