The planning period spans six years, from 2019 to 2025, with a long-term outlook extending to 2035.

The city will also encourage government agencies, enterprises, public institutions, and residential (small) communities to expand and add on‑site parking capacity. Furthermore, urban renewal projects will be required, during implementation, to construct public parking facilities in accordance with the controlling detailed plan or, based on the specific conditions of the surrounding area, to increase the supply of public parking.
