Overall the photo is too light and not enough contrast. I realize that it was quite hazy, so there is not a lot that can be done, but every bit helps some. there is no info about what was used to make the shot, so I will go on assumptions.
If this was shot on a phone, or cameras where using a filter is not an option, all work needs be done in you editing. Try playing with both brightness and contrast. Whatever you have for settings, try them as far as you can go. If you go too far you can come back. But it might be worth just seeing what can be done.
If you have a camera that can take filters, than try shooting with a UV filter. It can help a lot, or not much at all, only by trying it in a specific situation will you know for sure. Many people just leave it on the lens, as it does not often do anything bad. Plus it is extra protection for the front of the lens. If you do use other filters, it might be wise to remove this one then, as stacking filters can present problems.
If your editing software is one that offers separate channels for colors, and especially if you can control both saturation and density, than play with those channels, especially the color colors, blue and green. Although sometimes you can do a bit with yellow too.
Beyond that, try for times after rain. this cleans a lot of dust and smoke from the air. Also early in the day, often has less.
In any case, experiment as you can, with what you have. And good luck! :-)
You asked for scaffold, so here we go.
