Leonie Sandercock (born 1949) is an urban planner and academic focusing on community planning and multiculturalism.
Her research now focuses on working with First Nations through collaborative community planning, using the medium of film as a catalyst for dialogue on the possibilities of healing, reconciliation, and partnership.
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.
Her most recent book (with Giovanni Attili, her research partner since 2005), is the edited collection, "Multimedia Explorations in Urban Policy and Planning: beyond the flatlands" (2010).
In September 2012 Sandercock was awarded an Honorary Doctorate for her lifetime contribution to planning scholarship by Roskilde University, Denmark.
