Based on the current plan, an architectural design competition will be held for a monument commemorating the victims of Covid-19, and its construction will be funded through a public-private partnership.

Regarding the construction of a public park, it will be implemented based on a locally adjusted 1/2000 scale planning, investing in green parks and playgrounds for the public at No. 1 Ly Thai To Street through a socialized investment model.
