The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development was responsible for the implementation of this plan, and the location and acquisition of land and the preparation, design and implementation of it through the New Cities Construction Company and its subsidiaries were continuously followed up.

At the same time, the studies of transportation (inside and outside the city) and city facilities were started with other consulting engineers, and based on various statistics and information, the preparation of various population and employment forecasting models was finally prepared and presented.
