French term or phrase: actualisation de la ville de XXX
This is an article for an educational journal about a project designed to highlight the contributions of francophones to a particular city. One of the project objectives was to: "contribuer activement à la construction identitaire des élèves de la région et reconnaître et célébrer l’apport des francophones dans ***l’actualisation de la ville de XXX***".

I'm wondering about "celebrate the contribution of francophones to making the city of XXX a reality".
