Terror attacks have become an increasingly discussed and addressed threat in recent years due to an increased threat level around the world and in Sweden. Public areas are today seen as vulnerable for potential attacks due to its openness and accessibility to the public. Additionally, the study also highlights how design can be used as a tool to prevent and design out terrorism, with a focus on vehicle attacks. An important point of the study is also that barriers can lead to isolation and militarization of the urban spaces through a critical perspective. It is crucial for urban planners and authorities to consider the usage of design measures in the urban spaces, due to the current international situation. However, it is also important to consider what design measures retain the open space, and what measures can lead to an isolation of the urban space. The study aims to highlight both positive and negative perspectives that can arise when measures to protect the urban space and its people are installed into the urban spaces. The main focus of the study is on three different case studies from three different streets in three cities, to create a broader picture and understanding of how design measures have been installed in those cities.
