Localities must have plans for social housing development, in line with other housing segments, ensuring that all housing segments are equal in terms of infrastructure for transportation, telecommunications, electricity, water, culture, healthcare, education, etc. Land areas with beautiful locations, convenient for production and business; at the same time, invest in infrastructure to develop urban areas and housing in underdeveloped areas.
