The city’s Department of Construction was assigned to finalise the plan.

The plan should be able to state the number of apartments and apartment buildings that need reconstruction, identify related tasks and assign them to concerned parties, and introduce a clear pathway for the reconstruction process, according to the committee.
According to the municipal Department of Planning and Architecture, the committee should be in charge of the overall classification of different types of old apartment buildings and give directions to the urban architecture and planning process to facilitate reconstruction of the buildings.
The city's Department of Construction is responsible for instructing collaboration between concerned parties to develop specialised mechanisms and policies for reconstruction of the buildings.
A report on such tasks should be presented to the Prime Minister and the city’s People’s Council before January 31, 2017.
