This thesis explores the production of space in three suburban neighborhoods in Stockholm: Rinkeby, Tensta, and Husby. These areas are characterized by a predominantly foreign population and have been historically stigmatized. The research focuses on the public spaces at the center of these neighborhoods, examining how they function as hubs for community life. Drawing on Setha Low's research on public squares, the study argues that public space is not only produced by those who envision it, but also constructed by those who use it through daily processes, behaviors, and habits. These observed patterns carry significance as they forge the character of a place and address practices and emotions within a collective identity. The research combines a morphological and ethnographic analysis of the three suburban centrums, looking into the socio-political and economic context that shaped their design. It also examines how public life operates within these spaces, aiming to understand the sociological layers that are superimposed to the material structure, redefining spatial relations and reconstructing space through human experience. The study emphasizes the dynamic nature of public space, the relationship between morphology and use, and the potential of neighborhood centers to become hubs of inclusion. The research is informed by theories of space and power, and the spatialization of human experience, offering an anthropological approach to the built environment. It highlights the importance of public space in shaping collective identity and the role of inhabitants in redefining and constructing space. The study also acknowledges the challenges of understanding space through the lens of foreign perspectives, and the limitations of time and language in capturing the full complexity of public life in these neighborhoods. The research is structured into several sections, including an introduction, relevant themes and theories, methodology, production of space, physical analysis, and reflections on theory. It also includes annexes that provide a detailed analysis of behavioral patterns, perceptions, and encounters within the neighborhoods. The study concludes that public space is a dynamic and evolving concept, shaped by the interactions and experiences of its inhabitants, and that the production and construction of space are deeply intertwined with collective identity and social sustainability.This thesis explores the production of space in three suburban neighborhoods in Stockholm: Rinkeby, Tensta, and Husby.
