Lester Kiewit explores Cape Town’s deepening spatial inequality with a panel of leading voices in housing and urban development. The discussion tackles the city’s affordability crisis, the legacy of apartheid-era planning, and the impact of gentrification on vulnerable communities. From the housing backlog to the role of the private sector, the panel calls for more inclusive, participatory, and people-centred urban planning.
