- Sandercock, Leonie. "Out of the Closet: The Importance of Stories and Storytelling in Planning Practice." Planning Theory & Practice. Vol. 4, No. 1, 11-28, 2003.
ABSTRACT: This article argues that story has a special importance in planning that has neither been fully understood nor sufficiently valued. Planning is performed through story: in policy, in process, in pedagogy, in critique, as a foundation, and as a catalyst for change. A better understanding of the work that stories do can make us better planners in at least three ways: by expanding our practical tools, by sharpening our critical judgement and by widening the circle of democratic discourse.
