The ASCA Cities Project is a collaborative research initiative based at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam. The project brings together a diverse group of scholars who are interested in the comparative, interdisciplinary analysis of cities. Focusing in particular on the cultural dimensions of cities, the project has three central objectives:

• It aims to be a focal point and catalyst for humanities research in the field of urban studies.

• It aims to develop new theoretical frameworks and research methodologies for urban analysis.

• It aims to deepen our understanding of cities by working across historical, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
