ABSTRACT

Literature on planning as storytelling says little about the techniques of this persuasive practice. An analysis of six urban development videos in three Nordic cities clarifies how futures are envisioned and audiences seduced in the visual digital era. Variables related to space, time, and power demonstrate how meaning is created, the positive is accentuated, and hierarchies are established between places and groups of people. The discussion adds overlooked but useful literature and critical viewpoints to the discussion on planning as storytelling in the visual age. The results show why new, innovative responses are needed for Throgmorton’s 2003 call for the spatialization of storytelling in planning discourse. The results help in improving planners’ and citizen-scholars’ media literacy skills and in considering possible consequences of persuasive storytelling.

摘要

将计划作为讲故事的文献很少提及这种有说服力的做法的技巧。对三个北欧城市的六个城市发展视频的分析阐明了如何在视觉数字时代，未来被设想，观众被诱惑。与空间、时间和权力相关的变量展示了意义是如何被创造的，积极的被强调，以及在地方和人群之间建立了等级制度。该讨论为视觉时代将规划作为讲故事的讨论添加了被忽视但有用的文献和批判性观点。结果表明，为什么需要对 Throgmorton 2003 年在规划话语中空间化讲故事的呼吁提出新的、创新的回应。结果有助于提高规划者和公民学者的媒体素养技能，并有助于考虑有说服力的讲故事的可能后果。
