Summary, in English

In this chapter, we present why and how a territorial perspective on urban design and public space can be fruitful. We start by introducing the notion of territoriology, and then go on to present a brief history of how territoriality traditionally has been discussed in relation to urban design, ending with a few examples of some more recent territoriological studies. We then give a few examples of methods and techniques we have used in our own studies, before presenting four methodological themes that we think are important to keep in mind when taking a territoriological perspective on the urban design of public spaces.
