   Abstract : 88% av Sveriges befolkning bor i tätorter, vilket endast utgör 1,3 % av Sveriges totala yta.

   Author : Hugo Karlsson Million; [2023]
   Keywords : spatial conflicts; public space; spatial justice; youth; territory; boundaries; polarization; segregation.;

   Abstract : This study of Hornsbergs strand, Stockholm, aimed to explore the dynamics of social conflicts in public spaces following three research questions: (1) what are the driving factors in the spatial conflicts between inhabitants and visitors of Hornsbergs strand, (2) how do spatial conflicts in Hornsbergs strand reflect broader societal issues of polarization and segregation in Stockholm, and (3) what can be done on behalf of urban planners to avoid and manage similar conflicts in the future?
