Through reflections on recent discussions on the issue of social justice in planning,this paper holds that there is a divergence of values in the planning circles, for which six questions are raised:(1) Are all men created equal?(2) Should people in various classes be treated differently?(3) Are "social justice" and "social welfare" the same?(4) Is it socially just to provide different public services(i.e., education and medical care)to people according to their economic status?(5) Is it socially just to evict labor-intensive industries or floating population during the upgrading of a city?(6) Is it just to compromise social justice in order to pursue development, especially in less-developed regions? Using these questions, this research conducted an online survey among planning officials, academics, practitioners, and students.From the 685 questionnaires collected, this paperanalyzed the composition of answers on the issues of "basic values", "distribution of rights to the city",and "tendency towards compromise", as well as their relationships with the occupation, gender, and age of the respondents, which clearly demonstrates divergent standpoints in the current urban planning circles on social justice issues.
