What We Are Committed To
As a dynamic, multidisciplinary organization, we advance international scholarship on cultural cities and, more broadly, the role of art and culture in urban studies. We champion the integration of digital and other innovative technologies in the humanities, recognizing their transformative potential in cultural research and practice.
Our commitment extends beyond academia—we actively foster knowledge exchange, facilitate international cultural interactions, and contribute to the development of environments that support creative talent. Additionally, we provide expert consultation on policy and planning, offering insights into how cultural resources can be leveraged for sustainable urban development. Through these efforts, we aim to bridge research and practice, shaping more culturally vibrant and resilient cities.
What We Envision
CCRI aspires to become a premier international research hub for art and culture in urban studies, systematically integrating multiple disciplines, including fine arts, urban planning, urban design, political economy, urban economics, and cultural policy. We foster academic open-mindedness and uphold a deep respect for diverse backgrounds, expertise, and talents, ensuring an inclusive environment that supports a wide range of research experiences.
We aim to attract leading international scholars with relevant research interests, positioning CCRI as a key platform for the exchange of knowledge and cultural critique between the West and the East.
Beyond academia, we envision CCRI as a leading consultancy in cultural development, offering expert guidance on cultural planning projects in the U.S., Canada, Greater China (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan), and beyond. Through research, collaboration, and applied expertise, we strive to shape the future of cultural cities worldwide.
