Abstract: To promote the green and resilient development of urban transportation and the sustainable development of cities, we developed a technique that can be used to evaluate the level of urban green transportation development. First, the toughness evaluation indexes were integrated according to the connotation requirements of green transportation development, and the evaluation index system was constructed using the hierarchical analysis method. Second, subjective and objective weighting methods, such as the G1, entropy weighting, and “addition” integration methods, which provide a simple and easy-to-use evaluation method that can improve evaluation accuracy, were adopted. Finally, Harbin, a typical city in the north, was chosen as a representative city to verify the method effectiveness. The study findings can be used to evaluate the current level of green development of a city as well as for future planning, providing a basis for formulating sustainable urban transportation development strategies. We will continue to conduct comparative studies on different evaluation methods and cities to improve the generalizability of the method.
