Gerund phrase vs infinitive phrase

I am having trouble using gerund/infinitive phrases. In this sentence, which is correct the infinitive or the gerund:



Clearly, more attention – and investment – is needed on leveraging/to leverage the role of intermediate small- and medium-sized towns.



Similarly "assist" requires a gerund and not the infinitive: assist in formulating and not assist to formulate. What is the reasoning. And where can I find more information on this. Many thanks!
