Abstract
In an evaluation of an urban renewal project in Stockholm, interviewed residents expressed opinions which refer to territorial behaviour. Due to its location, their neighbourhood—one of Stockholm's oldest suburbs—had succeeded in conserving the values and lifestyles of a rather homogenous population. All the issues raised during this evaluation could not be answered, but they should serve as stimuli for research on the individually and culturally conditioned concept of human territoriality. Already existing research on this subject shows that the different dimensions of the territoriality concept could best be analysed by way of cross‐disciplinary research. Such research and such knowledge should have a prominent place in urban renewal projects.
