This could result not only in more financial resources but also in better management of the natural sites. Morelos' rapid urbanisation phenomenon has led to the deterioration of 50% of the state’s natural wealth and high pollution levels, particularly in metropolitan areas, as observed in Morelos' Ecological Land Management Plan (Ministry of Sustainable Development, 2016). One way to incentivise municipalities to plan urban development would be to make funding for specific projects conditional on a municipal urban development plan.
