In this project, adolescents aged 14-20 that live and spend time in two Malmö neighbourhoods: Rosengård and Sofielund have been interviewed. The aim of this research is to get a deeper knowledge of how the adolescents perceive their immediate neighbourhood, their relationship to different places in the neighbourhood and where they feel safe and unsafe.
