Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript is well structured, however conclusion can be further improved if the study findings can be related to some policy implications. Since this is a very important topic in the current scenario, it might be of good interest to the governments as well.

Reviewer 3 Report

This article attempts to investigate the most relevant sustainability criteria for infrastructure projects. Contributors highlight the importance of considering the essential infrastructure that facilitates sustainable urban development. Research indicates that various infrastructure projects may include the AHP-identified key and priority indicators. Infrastructure-wise, the objective of urban development will be more effectively attained.

I see that this manuscript is well-structured and well-written. However, some minor issues need to be addressed carefully. 

1- The article used AHP to rank sustainability factors. Despite the limitations, the conclusion did not suggest future research. 

2- The discussion section must be linked with previous studies tackling similar issues.  

3- Most of the selected sustainability indicators are extremely relevant and significant for assessing sustainability, according to this study. However, the discussion section should address the practical implementation of the research results. 

4- It is recommended that the tables in appendices be numbered from A1-A 25 instead of starting the numbering of each appendix at the beginning. Please provide a link where these appendices can be accessed and removed from the text for easy reading. Please double-check the systems data repositories in MDPI.

5 - Double checking for English is a necessary step for better readability.
