...addressing growing needs across the Northern Gulf of Mexico

CURIS Population and land‐use data, combined with abundant research on the science of watersheds, make it clear that land‐use reforms are necessary to preserve coastal communities and ecosystems.  At the Center for Urban Rural Interface Studies, it is our mission to provide a clearinghouse of information regarding smart growth, sustainable development and socio‐economic resources.

Addressing our communities’ “growing” needs, CURIS strives to assist with planning and policy decisions related to the improvement of the quality of life in the Gulf Coastal region of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
