Description
Narrative in Urban Planning: A Practical Field Guide by Lieven Ameel, Jens Martin Gurr, and Barbara Buchenau. This practical field guide provides planners with a comprehensive understanding of narrative approaches in urban planning. It offers insights from narrative research through a glossary of key concepts, helping to identify what makes narratives coherent, probable, persuasive, and necessary - while also acknowledging their potential for harm. The authors, experienced literary scholars and practitioners, share their expertise on harnessing the power of stories in urban development. By exploring the role of narratives in building more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive communities, this guide equips planners with the knowledge to use narrative approaches responsibly in their practice. With its accessible approach and practical guidance, it is an invaluable resource for those seeking to enhance their skills in urban planning.
