Identifying, aligning, and supporting collaborations where cultural practice intersects with urban change.
SCCI is the urban studies and urbanism research arm of The Clemente, advancing place-based inquiry, cross-sector partnerships, and speculative project development at the intersection of culture, land, and civic life.
Embedded within The Clemente’s broader cultural and civic mission, SCCI operates as a broker, incubator, and advisory platform. Its work connects cultural workers, organizers, artists, researchers, and public institutions to develop public-facing projects, knowledge tools, and civic collaborations grounded in New York City neighborhoods.
