Planning for social justice

Inclusive development as a concept was introduced in response to a market expectation
that development would follow from economic growth through a trickle-down effect.
In fact, economic growth by itself can lead to massive unemployment and growing
inequality. This led scholars and policy-makers to conclude that civil and political rights
must be ensured in the development process (Sachs 2004; Chibba 2008).
The idea of inclusiveness became a key goal. However, the question of how inclusive
development can be used in landscape planning has not been answered.
