For this month’s CURA Story, we are excited to share our 2024 Annual Report showcasing the impactful work of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs over the past year.

This year's report highlights 141 projects across Minnesota, including 77 faculty/graduate student research projects, 21 community-based research initiatives, and 43 technical assistance projects. Our work has connected 214 student participants with 151 community and government organizations across 14 research areas—from housing and public policy to racial equity and environmental justice.

Our work also covered every corner of the state and beyond with 90 Twin Cities Metro, 13 Greater Minnesota, 35 statewide projects, as well as 3 projects outside of Minnesota.

Through meaningful university-community partnerships, we've worked collaboratively to address pressing challenges facing Minnesota communities. The report illustrates how CURA's research, technical assistance, and community engagement efforts have supported positive change and practical solutions throughout the state.

We invite you to explore the full report to learn more about our projects, partnerships, and impact in 2024.
