The second part of our 2-part series with Tone Wheeler over why our cities and housing are breeding inequality.

An in-depth discussion of why the extremely low density city of suburbia with single houses is no longer fit for purpose: not in any of the three measures of sustainability - they are not socially desirable, not environmentally safe and financially ruinous making us a most unequal society. 

This fascinating discussion covers the reason why housing, schools and education, workplaces and recreation all leading to inequality.
