CURes supports a wide variety of research activities aimed at a better understanding of the biological and social structure and function of urban communities. Our goals are to enhance the public understanding of urban resilience as a tool for healthy neighborhoods, advance a vigorous program of research and education, and engage the public as critical stakeholders in urban policy and management.
For more information on our research projects, contact our Managing Director, Dr. Michele Romolini, at Michele.Romolini@lmu.edu.
