This essay explores the effects of urban densification on residents in Bellevuegården, Malmö, focusing on the experiences of tenants and their alignment with municipal planning intentions. Densification advocated for its sustainability benefits, often leads to gentrification and displacement of vulnerable groups. By examining municipal motives and comparing them with tenant experiences, this study sheds light on the discrepancies and challenges arising from densification processes. Through interviews and surveys, the research reveals that densification has varying impacts on residents, including a decline in their daily lives and dissatisfaction with renovations and increased rental costs. The findings underscore the need to understand the direct consequences of densification on residents and to address potential gentrification issues. Furthermore, the study emphasises the importance of considering the impact on local businesses. By delving into these dynamics, this research contributes to a better understanding of the social implications of densification in vulnerable socioeconomic neighbourhoods.
