Which objective is included in the AICP Code’s social justice principle?

The social justice principle in the AICP Code focuses on fairness, equity, and expanding opportunities for all residents in planning decisions. Expanding choice and opportunity for all persons captures that aim by promoting inclusive access to housing, jobs, services, and participation in the planning process, and by removing barriers that create inequities. The other ideas don’t fit this principle: pursuing higher property tax revenues centers on fiscal aims rather than equitable outcomes; preserving zoning as-is can maintain existing inequities and limit opportunities; and reducing public participation undermines the democratic, inclusive process that social justice requires.
