Abstract:

Purpose – Urban farming is becoming more common in the USA, as food-based entrepreneurs seek to make money farming in the city. Yet many urban farms are concerned with other factors in addition to food production, and thus have incorporated social goals into their missions. The purpose of this paper is to identify the social missions of urban farms in the USA, their extent, and explores differences and similarities among farms with varying missions. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use primary data collected from a 2012 national survey of urban farmers in the USA. In total, 35 questio

Abstract:

Smart cities are becoming the ideal solution for urban settlements to address the issues and challenges of the future. India also adopted various missions and agendas to be a part of this sustainable journey. The Smart Cities Mission, adopted in light of this development, is one of the largest missions concerning urban development. The mission has been ongoing for the past six years in the country, but the citizens are likely unaware of its progress.The study examines the disparity between 'on-paper and 'on-ground reality' in four of the one hundred Smart Cities proposed by the mission.

Abstract:

We present the development and application of multiple autonomous aerial vehicles in urban search and rescue missions. The missions are designed by the 2014 International Micro Aerial Vehicle Competition, held in Delft, the Netherlands, August 2014. Different mission tasks are identified for search and rescue missions, such as aerial photography, low altitude flight in urban environment, indoor navigation and rooftop landing. These tasks are all of paramount importance for rescuers in a disaster-hit place. We have designed a team of micro aerial vehicles with specific configurations to meet th

Abstract:

The investment needs in basic infrastructure that determine the pace of development of cities are considerably higher than the quantum of flow of funds. The key indicators of the major urban services reveal that there is a failure to achieve even moderate success in service delivery. The components of the traditional approach to financing urban services have been grants and loans from government-owned financial institutions on basis of guarantees. The urban local bodies (ULBs) in India are weak in terms of capacity to raise both resources and financial autonomy. Given the major risks involved,

Abstract:

After the Spanish colonized California in 1769, Franciscans from the Apostolic College of San Fernando (Mexico City) established missions but implemented a new model to more rapidly integrate indigenous populations into colonial society as per the expectations of royal officials. The indigenous populations were to be congregated on mission communities organized on the grid plan and were to live in European-style housing.

Abstract:

One of the elements of the mission programs on the frontiers of Spanish America was the creation of communities that conformed to norms established for urban planning by royal law, or, in other words, to the grid plan. Missionaries congregated thousands of indigenous peoples on the mission communities, and had them live in spatially compact living areas. Living in proximity to others helped spread highly contagious crowd diseases such as smallpox, and created hygiene problems.

Abstract:

Although women have been very prominent in foreign missions for more than a century, they have generally played a secondary role in the field of missiology. Most mission boards and seminary faculties have been male-dominated, except for a time in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when women formed their own “female agencies” and training schools. During this period women made significant practical and scholarly contributions to mission strategy. With the demise of the women's missionary movement, however, such opportunities sharply declined. That is now beginning to change. In

Cities are strategic places because cities are economic centers, cultural mixing centers, educational centers, technology centers and so on. .

In this book, we invited authors to report on their visions for cities, using a missions-oriented perspective on transformative innovations that support more liveable, sustainable, resilient, inclusive, and just futures. The resulting chapters have proposed a set of distinctive missions, providing what we think can provide the primary focus for future urban research and sustainability efforts.

This heat is challenging to dissipate during the mission, resulting in transient motor temperatures, especially during high-power mission segments. In addition, electrified aircraft also encounter design challenges associated with the fixed weight

Abstract:

In an innovative venture, the research team embarked on a mission to redefine urban traffic flow by introducing an automated way to manage traffic light timings. This project integrates two critical technologies, Deep Q-Networks (DQN) and Auto-encoders, into reinforcement learning, with the goal of making traffic smoother and reducing the all-too-common road congestion in simulated city environments. Deep Q-Networks (DQN) are a form of reinforcement learning algorithms that learns the best actions to take in various situations through trial and error. Auto-encoders, on the other hand, are tool

Abstract:

Approximately 2.69 million tuberculosis (TB) cases—about a quarter of the global cases—were reported in India on The Global TB Report 2019. There are nearly half a million “missing” cases every year, either undiagnosed, unaccountable, or inadequately diagnosed and treated. This paper analyzes the magnitude of TB transmission and the quality of interventions in urban areas and migrant populations in India. It identifies key factors and areas that need to be further strengthened for the country to achieve its goal of eliminating TB by 2025. The study is aligned with the government’s objective to

Abstract:

Markförstöring är en utmaning i hela Europa, vilket hotar miljömässig hållbarhet, jordbruksproduktivitet och människors välbefinnande. Som repsons på detta syftar Europeiska kommissionens Mission Soil1 -initiativ till att etablera 100 Living Labs (LL) och Lighthouses fram till 2030 för att främja innovativ och hållbar markhälsa. Living Labs definieras av tre grundprinciper2 : samverkan mellan olika aktörer, användarcentrerad innovation och verkliga miljöer, vilket möjliggör att olika intressenter tillsammans kan utveckla, testa och skala upp lösningar som hanterar markrelaterade utmaningar och

Abstract:

The Engineering With Nature® (EWN®) program within the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) funds research projects occurring in a myriad of environments, including in marine coasts, freshwater coasts, and fluvial (riverine) systems. Yet there have been fewer projects documented where EWN principles have been applied in urban landscapes, particularly to manage flood risk, a main civil works mission of the USACE. Natural hazards including increased flashiness associated with intense rainfall events have prompted the need for more sustainable infrastructure solutions that reduce flood risks in urb
