Social equity in planning

Social equity in planning refers to ensuring fair and just access to resources, services, and opportunities for all community members, regardless of their background, income, or abilities. It emphasizes inclusivity in decision-making processes, so that diverse voices are heard and considered in urban development, transportation, housing, and public services. The goal is to reduce disparities, promote equal rights, and create environments where everyone can thrive. Planners strive to design policies and initiatives that cater to the needs of marginalized or disadvantaged populations, fostering a more equitable and sustainable community for all.
