This piece came up in one of my classes. Notice how in the fourth paragraph the author uses the words 'socially just.'

"And it demands listening to people who have spent the last decade imagining and in many cases planning for more sustainable, livable and socially just cities."

The last paragraph before he introduces the case studies 'socially just' is gone and is replaced with 'efficient':

"Though none of the plans are ideal as they stand today (and some of them represent only the germ of an idea), evaluated and addressed together as part of a coordinated effort, they could begin to form a blueprint for making our cities more efficient, sustainable and livable."

I don't think 'efficient' and 'socially just' have the same meaning.
