Mapping Possibility

"""In this book, one of community planning’s leading thinkers pulls back the curtain on the intellectual and personal journey that has shaped four decades of scholarship. This collection will inspire anew those of us familiar with her work and be a touchstone text for future thinkers and practitioners of community planning."" Libby Porter, Professor, Centre for Urban Research, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Australia ""In a book of imagination and wonder, Leonie Sandercock has interwoven politics and personal experience to surprise us all, to expand our senses of possibility, to give us an empowering vision of connection and responsibility, intimacy and critical politics too."" John Forester, Professor, Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University, USA ""Sandercock provides an inside-out account of the ways of being, knowing, and acting that shaped her scholarship and practice, spanning the 1970s to the present. Her rich, reflective commentaries show how experience and academic insight co-evolve, so that the reader can deeply understand the fourteen seminal works included in the volume."" Richard Willson, Professor, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California, USA ""Leonie brings to life forty years of debates in planning theory and practice before pointing to the next threshold: reimagining the soul of planning. Using her storytelling skills, this weaving of personal memoir and critical reflection on her own writings and film making is innovative, life affirming, and insightful, recognizing that we are not just talking heads."" Patricia A. Wilson, Professor, Graduate Program in Community and Regional Planning, School of Architecture, University of Texas, Austin, USA"
