In the 2020 CURA's events focused around the theme of "Food Security and Healthy Communities" and in the Summer of 2020 CURA's events changed dramatically due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We decided to host monthly webinars focused around “Cities and Regions in the Post-Coronavirus Era,” initiating community conversations on what lesson we can learn from this crisis to create a more resilient and sustainable world.
