The conceptual scheme of the master plan includes a city centre, individual and low-density residential areas, as well as multifunctional and public-business zones. 

Additionally, plans are in place to establish a terrace park, a riverside boulevard, and agrotourism, industrial, and logistics zones. Alongside the master plan, detailed solutions have been developed for the initial stage of Aghdara's reconstruction, which envisions a total housing fund of 420,000 square meters and the construction of an 80-bed hospital, five schools with a capacity of 2,520 students, five kindergartens for 840 children, and a vocational school. In the first phase, a 104-hectare city centre will be developed, making it possible for 3,590 people to reside in the city by 2030, where the road and street network will span 46.8 kilometres and bicycle lanes will reach 10 kilometres in length.

Furthermore, within the framework of the project, architectural designs for both public and residential buildings have already been finalised.

After reviewing the master plan, the head of state provided relevant instructions and directives.
