Seems put should be take or took.

put into effect to do or in/of doing? whatever, i choose plan.

I think (the clustering) is the wrong expression. It should be (the cluster of ) or (for clustering goverment buildings) but the first expression is better. (clustering) should be followed by a object directly.

PLAN is never an uncountable.

'_was_ put _into_'
-suis(une chinoise);

"was put into effect by WHOM?" Passive voice is unreasonable. Actually, PLAN implied it's THE CITY that took the action.

by city structure designer

They had the power to force THE CITY (government)?

just like 'he was fired', you don't need to care if there is an 'employer' or not. _into_ is a key word here.

No. English is a language emphasizing logic. We have to notice it.

The keynote here is that it's nothing wrong to use the active voice in this sentence.
