نرجس سلیمانی, during the ٤٤٢nd public session of the Islamic City Council of Tehran, announced the identification of ٥٠ construction projects that are on the verge of opening. These projects, which have remained from various past periods, can be utilized as a collective and synergistic achievement for urban management.
Increase in project utilization by the end of winter
Soleimani pointed out that ٨٠% of small and medium projects have a progress rate of over ٧٠%, stating that with prudent allocation of resources, it is possible to utilize these projects before the end of winter. She emphasized that this action could lead to a fruitful year for urban management and improve citizens' lives.

Projects without the need for additional funding
The head of the oversight and legal commission of the Tehran City Council referred to the categorization of projects and said: nearly ٢٠ identified projects have no requests for additional funding and can only be completed with the rapid allocation of liquidity. These projects can reduce the financial burden resulting from delays. Additionally, about ٣٠ other small and local projects have a funding capacity of around ٣٥٠ billion tomans.
Soleimani also referred to the status of large projects and said: five key projects with a budget of ٦ trillion tomans are awaiting allocation, and with smart management and allocation, the utilization of one to two projects among them could be feasible.
The necessity of transparency and prioritization of projects
A member of the Tehran City Council emphasized the need for clarifying the nature of each project's requirements and said: it should be determined whether the bottleneck of each project is due to a budget shortfall, liquidity shortage, or execution obstacles. She suggested that projects with insurmountable execution obstacles be temporarily deprioritized so that limited urban resources can be allocated to the highest priorities.
In conclusion, Soleimani reminded the head of the Islamic City Council of Tehran that the method of calculating the percentage of physical progress and expenditures of projects should be standardized and clarified once and for all. She emphasized that the current heterogeneous methods hinder accurate evaluation by oversight bodies and urban management.
