Leonie Sandercock

Leonie Sandercock (b. 1949, Adelaide, Australia) is an Australian academic who is currently serving as Director of the School of Community & Regional Planning at University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Her research interests include immigration, cultural diversity and integration; participatory planning, democracy, and information and communication technologies; fear and the city; a more therapeutic model of planning; the importance of stories and storytelling in planning theory and practice; and the micro-practices of power, discourse, and institutions in urban governance.

Sandercock has published many books, the most influential of which is "Towards Cosmopolis: Planning for Multicultural Cities" (1998), and its sequel "Cosmopolis 2: Mongrel Cities" which is a very much expanded second edition of its forerunner. These books established Sandercock as one of the foremost urban planning theorists concerning issues of multiculturalism in contemporary cities, and she is widely in demand internationally as a speaker.

Sandercock has a MFA (screenwriting) University of California at Los Angeles (1989), a PhD, Australian National University (1974) and a BA (Hons), University of Adelaide (1970). She has served as a senior academic in Australia at Macquarie University, RMIT University and the University of Melbourne, as well as UCLA. Sandercock is married to John Friedmann.
