Abstract
Planning arguments are characteristi cally expressed as stories. As they both tell and manage these stories, planners maintain and redesign com munities. The essay describes five management (and hence design) modes for dealing with narrative conflicts. It focuses particularly on the fifth (postmodernist) strategy that sustains the differences inherent in a field of open moral communi ties.Keywords
