Reviews for "Journal of Urban Planning and Development"

Motivation: We submitted our paper on 8 March 2024. After a short time, it appeared as "Under Review," and after 4 months, we sent an email about the process. The editor sent us an email saying that our paper is still under review. On 27 August 2024 ( 5 months after the first submission), we had a major revision from 2 reviewers. We did all the revisions in two months and sent to the journal on 9 September 2024. and we were waiting for an acceptance. After 2 months from revisions, we had a final decline. Although one of the reviewers had accepted, the editor rejected our paper according to ANOTHER (totally different) reviewer's (not the one who asked for revision in the first place) opinion from scratch after we made all the major revisions. We wasted our ten months for a decline with revisions. It was a terrible editorial process. Don't recommend anyone.

Even though we sent an e-mail explaining this situation, their editorial office also did not pay attention. They have forwarded our email to the Chief Editor for comment, that's all.
