Welcome to the FW de Klerk Foundation’s Constitution @ Work podcast, where we explore how South Africa’s Constitution shapes the real-world experience of rights and freedoms. On this episode the focus is on a deeply structural issue that affects millions of South Africans: housing and urban reform with Daneila Ellerbeck, Lusanda Mahkuntsu and Mpone Komako and together they unpack the Foundation’s key recommendations – looking at how housing reform can help build a more inclusive and equitable society. Questions:

• How do we restructure cities to bring people closer to opportunity?
• What does the Foundation recommend addressing spatial inequality?
• How does the Foundation suggest scaling up housing delivery?
• What role do municipalities play in housing reform?
• Housing affordability is a major issue – what solutions are proposed?
• How does housing connect to economic opportunity?
• What changes are needed in urban planning more broadly?
• Why is spatial segregation still such a major issue today?
• What are the governance challenges affecting housing delivery?
• How do these recommendations tie back to the Constitution?
