The figures for other designated districts are provisional allocations for industrial and commercial projects. These districts also receive urban programme resources for other projects under the traditional urban programme. ¶ These figures relate to new approvals under circular 23—the authorities will also receive urban programme resources for on-going projects approved under earlier circulars.
