So here's a proposal: Why not use government policy to directly create jobs — labor-intensive service jobs in fields like education, public health and safety, urban infrastructure maintenance, youth programs, elder care, conservation, arts and letters, and scientific research?
Next, until private-sector job growth gets back to where it should be, we should use government funds to create millions of short-term, labor-intensive service jobs in fields like education, elder care, public health and safety, and urban infrastructure maintenance.
Potential sources of these insecticides, especially the frequently detected pyrethroids, were most likely from pest control during urban landscaping maintenance and from abatement programs targeting mosquitoes and ants.
Rural roads are built and maintained with twice the federal funding that is devoted to urban road maintenance, according to the Surface Transportation Policy Project, a Washington, D.C. based nationwide coalition that studies transportation issues.
With an appropriate communication mechanism, vehicles can be converted to intelligent objects capable of forming very useful systems such as road security, vehicle maintenance, urban mobility, traffic congestion, fleet management, CO2 emissions, etc.
Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique and hierarchical cluster analysis have been utilized to find the most adaptable plant species for the area according to the main selection parameters of zone tolerance, urban conditions, esthetics, maintenance, growth characteristics, and specific features.
Moreover, our design being powered by energy harvesting makes it a good fit for low-maintenance urban sensing systems.
We investigated the carbon footprints of urban turf operation and maintenance by conducting a research questionnaire on different Hong Kong turfs in 2012, and showed that turf maintenance contributed 0.17 to 0.63 kg Ce m− 2 y− 1 to carbon emissions.
Maintenance of urban road pavements is shown as critical in city management.
Spatial heterogeneity of vegetation growth is important for maintenance of urban green space.
