AICP Code of Ethics

The AICP Code of Ethics provides professional guidelines for urban planners to ensure integrity, honesty, and fairness in their work. It emphasizes respecting public interests, promoting sustainable development, and avoiding conflicts of interest. Planners are expected to make decisions based on sound analysis, communicate transparently, and prioritize community well-being over personal gain. The code fosters trust between planners and the communities they serve by upholding accountability, fairness, and ethical conduct in all aspects of planning practice.
