The way to promote

As the Wibank explains, an application for inclusion in an urban development program can only be made by authorities entitled to apply. Different documents must be attached, including a description of the area and a decision to develop a development concept. The whole thing is a little bit bureaucratic, but necessary in order to use the available budget. The funding then takes place according to the objectives of the program and its available means.
