In particular, with 160 apartment complexes in Dongtan District included in the plan, the city will comprehensively review the changes in the residential environment and infrastructure conditions in the Dongtan area to develop policies for creating a more pleasant living environment.

The implementation schedule begins with the study order and contracting in April, the study launch in June 2026, followed by public viewing and collection of residents' opinions, consultations with relevant departments in September 2026, deliberation by the Urban Planning Committee, and concludes with the final report meeting and announcement of the master plan in December 2027.
