Today The Metro revisits a particularly impactful segment on photograper Johnny Miller's project “Unequal Scenes” which uses drones to capture aerial shots of cities worldwide, from Manila in the Philippines to our own Detroit.

The images offer bird’s eye views of urban areas — a vantage point that makes the unequal distribution of wealth in some communities painfully clear.  

What lessons can we learn by viewing these images? Miller joined The Metro to discuss his inspiration behind the project and why the images are so effective at visualizing inequality.
