Following on from our introductory episode this second and final part (for now!) considers:

  • What is it that Province is advocating for the Inclusionary Housing policy – isn’t it just another method of taxation?
  • What are the negotiable variables and thresholds that have been used in Joburg?
  • Why do the NGOs suggest that micro-units aren’t helpful in the Inclusionary Housing debate?
  • How has the language and skill sets of contemporary planners been challenged by the Inclusionary Housing negotiations on policy and applications?
  • What have been the unintended and unresolved aspects from the Joburg experience?
  • How have the tribunals who adjudicate on applications responded?
  • What the response to the Provincial policy been so far?
  • What does the research in SA since 2007 tell us?
