Abstract A phenomenon that has been noticed more and more in media and the public space in recent years is what is called guerrilla gardening. It means the illicit cultivation of someone else?s land. This report's intention is to analyze what impact guerrilla gardening could have on today's urban space in terms of stable changes in norms and physical design. I have also focused on guerrilla gardener?s choice to carry out these actions illegally, without asking for permission, and what impact that could have on the issue of appropriating public space. To find the answer to this, three guerrilla gardening operations in Malmö and Lund are studied in which participants are observed and / or interviewed. These actions will then be discussed in a spatial reasoning theory. The essay is divided into four main parts. In the introductory part guerrilla gardening in a Western context is introduced and explained. There will also be a brief chapter of it?s history, different driving forces behind guerrilla gardening, and two interviews with the local council department and the prosecutor's office in Malmö. These two interviews have been conducted to examine the laws and the local planning?s saying on guerrilla gardening today. The second part presents the theory of spatial production processes used to analyze the three studied guerrilla gardening operations. After that, the three actions observed will be presented and analyzed. The final section discusses guerrilla gardening as a process spatial production and its possible impact in the public space.Keywords: guerrilla gardening, public space, urban space, appropriation, activism, action, gardening, urban, illegal, Skåne, Malmo, Lund, Lefebvre, Certeau
