- Abstract
- The aim of this case study of Malmo is to investigate the relations between the perceived density
and the physical density by comparing areas with different densities and distance from the city
center and to which extend this may be connected to social justice. In this essay, social justice is
defined as an even distribution of resources, services and opportunities regardless of one’s
geographical location in housing. In order to delimit the survey area, the investigation was
limited to four main points to examine which includes access to grocery stores and green areas,
access to and use of transport and satisfaction with housing. In order to answer the research

perceived density may partly be based on people’s previous experiences and contexts, where
people tend to experience the same thing differently. At the same time, one could see a pattern
that the more dense areas closest to the city center generally had better access to resources and
thus a higher level of social justice was maintained there. Furthermore the results also indicate
that the residents in the areas with higher density also generally experienced it as more important
to live close to the resources then the residents living in the areas further away from the center
with lower density did. Thus, it’s rather complex to draw conclusions about how the distribution
of resources reflects the social justice in the city (Less)
