The survey is a qualitative study that aims to investigate the ethnic housing segregation in the residential area around Malmvägen that is located in Sollentuna. Malmvägen is a millionprogramarea that?s made up of unattractive tall buildings with grey facades. The majority of the residents have foreign backgrounds and the unemployment rate is high among the youths in the area. The apartment rents on Malmvägen are low and many of the residents belong to the subclass of society. Because of limited options many families have to live crowded. There is a lot of prejudice against the area due to brawls and damage that took place in the 1990s. The fact that a new custody has been built in the area has not reduced the public prejudice. The purpose of the survey is to investigate how ethnic housing segregation affects young people and how this type of segregation can be prevented. The result shows five young adults experiences and their experiences of living in the ethnically housing segregated Malmvägen. Also, the statements given by a field recreation leader regarding the perceptions of the circumstances of the area is presented. Through all the respondents statements it was confirmed that the area is ethnically segregated and that this leads to a variety of consequences. The youths of Malmvägen fall victim to the current ethnic housing segregation and this is also corroborated by a statement that the field recreation leader made; ?The youths lack a sense of not having an opportunity in life?.
