Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Geography Compass examines diverse geographical perspectives on contemporary global issues. Recent articles explore the political and social dimensions of fire, the bioeconomy and meat industry, spatial polarization and the radical right, and the complexities of just energy transitions. The journal also addresses vertical urbanization, the spatial networks of cultural industries, food geographies in urban and marine contexts, and climate communication strategies. Further topics include health geographies and the body, urban agriculture in marginalized areas, Pacific islander responses to mobility disruptions, the construction of public spheres in urban settings, the spatial misalignment of nation-states, the urban implications of global trade through ports, children's independent mobility in the context of ride-hailing services, and the geopolitical narratives surrounding AI development in China. The journal also investigates climate distress and reparative framings of care.
