Sometimes the sites are not a specific place, but an entire area, such as the White City in Tel Aviv , , the city of Budapest or the city of Bath, United Kingdom
The proposal for new sites is made by the state in whose territory the site is located, at meetings of the World Heritage Committee, the candidates for the title are examined, and those who meet the required conditions are recognized as world heritage sites.
