Overview: The current evidence base concerning inequality in South Africa is relatively small regarding the changing geographies of
inequalities and the associated impacts which are felt on the ground as individuals’ ‘lived experience’ of inequality. This event details the
outputs from a project in which quantitative and qualitative methods have been used to examine urban spatial transformation, the lived
experience of inequality and social attitudes towards inequality.

The event will outline headline findings from the study, including:
(1) Mapping the changing geographies of inequality,
(2) Understanding where, when and how people experience inequality and how this affects their attachment to place and (3) Results from the South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS) on people’s experiences of inequality and their attitudes to inequality and redress.

The event will include presentations setting out the key findings, an interactive demonstration of new small area measures of deprivation
and inequality, and an open discussion around the use and future development of the project outputs. The results of this project will offer
important new insights which will support national and local government when developing evidence-based policies to tackle inequality.

It will enable policies in the areas of housing, urban planning and poverty alleviation to be informed by analysis of the lived experience of
inequality, derived from an inter-play of highly context-specific qualitative enquiry and cutting-edge quantitative techniques.

Speakers will include: Prof Chris Lloyd, Queen’s University Belfast, UK; Prof Ivan Turok, Human Sciences Research Council, RSA; Dr David McLennan, Southern African Social Policy Research Insights, UK; Dr Wanga Zembe-Mkabile, Southern African Social Policy Research Institute, RSA; Mr Jabulani Jele, Southern African Social Policy Research Institute, RSA; Dr Benjamin Roberts, HumanSciences Research Council, RSA; and Ms Christine Byaruhanga, Southern African Social Policy Research Institute, RSA.
Invitees: Researchers in Central and local government, Research Councils, NGOs, Universities.
