They need to evaluate and propose to remove obstacles problems in planning-related regulations; review and commit to implementing the progress of building, assessment and ratification of planning schemes to enhance transparency, step up inspections and supervisions, thereby creating an obvious change in the building, assessment and ratification of planning schemes in the coming time.
