The importance of a master plan
                     "The master plan is to find a direction to move forward based on the current situation and
                 problems. If you find a direction to move forward, you can create areas to focus on. Only then can
                 the city's goals, visions and strategies be established. Therefore, it is most important to establish a
                                                       master plan."
