Key focus areas include optimizing urban space, developing modern parking facilities, expanding green and botanical spaces, addressing illegal public land occupation, and upgrading essential infrastructure to enhance residents’ quality of life. A strong emphasis was placed on modernizing municipal operations through digitalization.
