Requirements preferred by the WHO:

1. The highest level of political commitment to the principles and strategies of the Healthy Cities project.

2. Establishment of new organisational structures to manage change

3. Commitment to developing a shared vision for the city with a health plan and work on specific themes

4. Investment in formal and informal networking and co-operation
