Spatial Inequality has become a major concern in our growing modern society.  It is known as the differences between where people live and the quality of life they are available too.  The further out from cities area's you go the greater number of spatial inequality there is.  The topic of spatial inequality is rather important as it is possible that where you live can affect a persons future.  For example someone who grows up in a rather wealthy family will be treated better than someone who grew up in a poor family.  A poorer family may live in areas such as Redfern and Cabramatta and a wealthier family may live in areas such as Surry Hills.  It is also their access to education that structures their future.  You need a high level of education in order to uphold certain jobs such as a doctor or veterinarian.  According to statistics, the Glenquarie Housing Commission Estate in Sydney's south-west had an unemployment rate of 26.4 per cent which compared to the national unemployment rate of 7.1% was rather surprising. Most of these poor unemployment results occurred in urban areas. 

Overall, those who are involved in the issue of spatial inequality are treated poorly.  Those who are poorer do not receive the same treatment as a richer person would.  The government often treats the poor differently and as a result others follow.  The government continuously builds and creates more infrastructure in city areas than in urban areas.  One solution to this problem is the building of government houses for those who are poorer and live in poverty.  Solutions to other issues of spatial inequality include donating to charities and volunteer work.  If those in a society help out charities such as 'meals on wheels' and government housing then the poorer can perhaps save enough money to get a job and hopefully move to a better area where they can receive a better standard of living.  According to Elizabeth Farrelly, of the Sydney Morning Herald, "We live in a world where social values have shaped history." In my opinion, we as a society need to help out those who are poorer and bring them out of spatial inequality where everyone can be treated equally and fairly with the right amounts of education and facilities available.
