Center for Urban and Regional Analysis

CURA's mission is to serve as a bridge across academia, industry, and the policy sector by providing spatial analysis of economic, social, environmental, and health issues in urban and regional settings in Ohio and beyond.

Two years later, in April 2001, the organization officially renamed itself the Center for Urban & Regional Analysis and was given final approval by the Board of Trustees.

[4] CURA has conducted extensive research and analysis on various topics such as air traffic, urban growth, land use, food accessibility, crime, housing, and data mapping through GIS technology.

CURA partnered with Center for Aviation Studies at OSU to create maps displaying the accessibility of domestic air service in the United States.

Graduate Affiliate Kejing Peng created a detailed web application displaying the results of the air traffic analysis.
