Time and quality of the work are pivotal. The proper decision at the right time is the key. Editorial decisions of reject, revise and accept set up the basic platform. The graphic design and editorial works have been mainly guided by the editor Mr. Eric Pollock. We have drawn upon our experiences of our work as editors, authors, and reviewers. It is likely to be particularly beneficial to scholars at the early stages of their profession. The role of the graphic designers has been largely advisory, but also included the design of the cover and authors page. The graphic designers and the editor have always carefully reviewed the text together. The mindset has always been positive which not only motivated the team but also set the right tune for the large group of authors which made this book complete and worth reading within the limited course of time. Nonetheless, the eyes were always focused on any possible flaws and further improvement of the work. For the student graphic designers, the job was challenging but also very rewarding. The experience gathered is enormous. The privilege of responsibility for the graphic work filled our hearts with unspeakable joy. We began with the pristine idea of putting together the vast knowledge and experience of our authors under the title ‘Sustainable Cities’. Groups were made for different chapters based on interest and previous expertise. To support a culture of timeliness, we encouraged the authors to make a timely decision on accepting the review invitation and, importantly, a responsible commitment to provide the written drafts on the agreed timeline. A set of academic guidelines was provided to the authors mentioning all the instructions for their writing. Periodical reviews were done in the presence of the authors and our Lecturer Mr.Pollock. Moreover, a template in Adobe InDesign was separately given to all the authors in the beginning. The template was utilized to make the layout of the book. The vision was to make the book more interesting and readable for the authors. We started at the beginning of January 2018 and were able to finish in early May 2018. Courtesy of the intense motivation of the authors and endless cooperation of our team, this has been possible beyond our expectations. The editor and graphic designers worked in close cooperation with the authors constantly. We were to able to finish the work with the desired quality because of proper planning and efficient coordination. The sole interest in the book by all made our vision come true at the end. In future, we aspire to grow upon our experiences and continue being involved in the noble job of editing and graphic design.
