The article analyzes the role of the equity factor in the consolidation of urban communities. The consolidation of the population is considered a way to achieve its stability. Social consolidation is discussed as an ambiguous concept that characterizes the process and outcome of an agreement between different communities on the basis of the unity of values and interests and the establishment of relations of mutual trust and solidarity, in order to achieve common goals. The results of the research have shown that justice is not only the dominant value of urban residents but becomes a factor that determines many daily practices of the population. As a conclusion it has empirically confirmed that, if there are significant discrepancies regarding the understanding of social justice by the inhabitants of the city and their lack of conviction in the practical implementation of this principle, consolidation remains only an illusory opportunity. Therefore, the consistent implementation of the principle of justice and the search for social consensus among various segments of the population are strategic priorities for the development of urban communities around the world.
