 Scientific Staff - Jim C. Hiley - Agricultural Production Profiles
These pressures are at the root of a widely held perception throughout the municipality that the viability of farming, its primary economic and environmental driver, as well as the rural character of the County are at risk in the longer term.
Neighbourhood agricultural profiles identify those types of operations that are currently viable; information that can be integrated into the existing political and administrative processes through the AVS.
Comparative analysis of the profiles indicates that those neighbourhoods that are the foundation of agricultural production within Red Deer County face a challenging future in the context of competition from non-agricultural land uses for a finite resource base.

The resulting cultural diversity is reflected in the numerous ethnic neighbourhoods of the city.
The Toronto financial industry is based on Bay Street, the country's equivalent to Wall Street in New York.
Due to an increasing municipal population and a housing boom that ran through the late 1990s and early 2000s, many of the neighbourhoods in the inner suburbs experienced accelerated gentrification, with rapidly rising home prices, an influx of wealthier residents, and a boom in upscale businesses to service them.

 Locally compact space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In topology and related branches of mathematics, a topological space is called locally compact if, roughly speaking, each small portion of the space looks like a small portion of a compact space.
To be precise, a topological space X is locally compact if and only if every point has a local base of compact neighborhoods, i.e.
The last example contrasts with the Euclidean spaces in the previous section; to be more specific, a Hausdorff topological vector space is locally compact if and only if it is finite-dimensional (in which case it is a Euclidean space).

The project, which started in 2002 and recently completed its pilot phase, is based on the idea that volunteerism represents a significant and underutilized asset that can contribute to urban development, strengthen civil society and local governments, and foster participatory local governance.
Since that time, schools were rehabilitated, the fisherman’s beach cleaned and developed, local monuments and parks refurbished, a book drive for low-income students held, and a number of local associations—fishermen, artisans, neighbourhood groups—received professional trainings to update their skills and learn new technologies.
Based in Bonn, Germany, UNV is the UN organization that supports sustainable human development globally through the promotion of volunteerism, including the mobilization of volunteers.

 Sustainable neighbourhoods: the role of housing markets and community assets
Having started from a similar base, the neighbourhoods are developing in different ways, which the study identifies as 'sustainable', 'regenerating' or 'declining'.
A string of responses to questions about moving – 'to a bigger house, or better neighbourhood, or to be near family or friends' – suggests that, even in the poorest neighbourhoods, residents feel they have a degree of control over their lives.
On the other hand, these new residents tend to be critical of the neighbourhood environment and socially distanced from the tenants of social housing nearby.

 Saskatchewan Assessment Manual (1998) - Chapter 2
The infrastructure adjustment may be applied to account for any gain or loss in value, that is not accounted for in the neighbourhood base land rate, due to the existence or lack of infrastructure, such as survey, street, sewer, water, sidewalk, and curb and gutter services.
Where the neighbourhood base land rate is determined on the basis of fully service land, the adjustment for lack of infrastructure shall be determined using the infrastructure rate schedule.
Where the neighbourhood base land rate is determined on the basis of land that is not fully serviced, the adjustment for lack of infrastructure shall be determined by prorating the infrastructure rate schedule so that the existing services total 1.0.

has a base of neighbourhoods of zero consisting of convex sets (the definition of a locally convex space sometimes requires also that the space be Hausdorff).
Conversely, the topology of any locally convex space can be defined by some set of semi-norms — for example, by the set of gauge functions (Minkowski functionals) of an arbitrary subbase of neighbourhoods of zero consisting of balanced convex sets.

Then we can separate x and A by neighbourhoods: for each a in A, let U(''x'') and V(''a'') be disjoint neighbourhoods containing x and a, respectively.
An equivalent definition of Compact spaces, sometimes useful, is based on the finite intersection property.
The definition based on open coverings has surpassed it by allowing many useful results that could be proven about metric spaces using the old definition to be proven in general.

It does cause jurisdictional problems and tends to harm the city core, which is often left with the lowest socioeconomic group, a declining tax base, and neighbourhoods impoverished to the point of destitution.
At the same time, it will become critical to devise strategies to lessen the impact of the loss of industrial tax base at the city core and to alleviate conditions for those left behind in poverty, with no hope of obtaining jobs or of migrating to places where their prospects might be better.
Of these options, most are unacceptable in any global strategy with a claim to an ethical base or are unenforceable even by the most totalitarian of governments.

In many towns and cities throughout the world, mayors are directly elected by the citizens, with varying but often considerable power to govern locally on their behalf.
A town council, made up of separately elected representatives from different neighbourhoods (often called wards in English), usually balances this concentration of power in the hands of one man or woman.
Until very recently, this model of local government was not used in the UK, where councillors make decisions through a committee system in which the leader of the majority party has the greatest power.

We will concentrate on finite covers of countable $\aleph_{0}$-categorical structures, and we often describe structures entirely by their automorphism groups, without reference to any particular language (in the $\aleph_{0}$-categorical case this is justified by the Ryll-Nardzewski theorem).
If $\Omega$ is a set then we regard $\Sym(\Omega)$, the symmetric group on $\Omega$, as a topological group with a base of open sets being given by cosets of pointwise stabilisers of finite subsets of $\Omega$.
Then the collection of subsets of $A^{*}$ of the form $\{ f \in A^{*} : f(X) \subseteq S_{k}\}$, where $X$ is a compact subset of $A$ and $k \in {\Bbb N}$, forms a complete system of neighbourhoods of the identity in $A^{*}$ (see Definition 34 of \cite{Pon}).

On this day, the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) calls upon all revolutionary communists around the world to carry forward a red May Day which powerfully and unambiguously conveys this message — in contrast to all the reformist views, which in one form or another counsel the proletariat and oppressed to make peace with class exploitation.
This is why RIM has been formed as a stepping-stone towards forming a Communist International of a new type, based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
