This book explores how planners can actively restore equity to their profession. Drawing on diverse expert perspectives, it centers fairness and equal access in planning research and practice. It serves as an essential resource for city leaders, planners, students, and anyone interested in shaping a more just built environment. The work reminds us that equity has deep historical roots in planning, dating back over a century. However, rising inequality and socio-economic changes challenge the idea that economic growth benefits everyone equally, necessitating a return to fundamental principles.
