ABSTRACT
In chapter 4, we examine the formation of the urban periphery, how space is constructed on material and symbolic grounds, produced in discourse. We show how borders and distinctions are made, though never fixed, positioning Västerort and Österort to the urban periphery, and how such positioning is key for governing the movement and relations of young people, as well as their sense of belonging. The spatial formations analysed, become integrated in, and enable a variety of activities, relations and movements, manifested in technologies of governing explored further.
