About UsThe Scenes Project is an international network of researchers. Our goal is to articulate and measure the distinctive qualities that imbue social life with vitality and meaning. Qualities such as glamour, self-expression, tradition, and neighborliness combine in various ways to create the diverse scenes that characterize cities and communities. These scenes are dynamic components of the social process, feeding into economic development, shaping residential patterns, energizing politics, and more.
