The landscape, parks, green spaces and riverside land will be improved to create public spaces and enhance residents' quality of life, gradually establishing a distinctive scenic corridor, contributing to the development of a green, smart and sustainable city.

At the review meeting, delegates focused on clarifying the need for the project, its scale and investment components. Members of the Urban Affairs Committee broadly agreed with the draft resolution and the proposed investment policy. They requested that the Department of Finance report on and clarify adjustments and additions made to the project's objectives, scale and implementation schedule after appraisal, and identify any matters requiring supplementary appraisal, if applicable, to provide a sufficient basis for submission to the City People's Council for consideration and decision.
