The exaggerated death of geography: learning, proximity and territorial innovation systems
反驳全球化与数字化导致“地理死亡”的流行说法，从三个角度论证地理仍然重要：质疑ICT的距离消除能力、强调物理邻近性对知识交换的必要性、以及分析区域创新系统的兴起。
Globalization and digitalization have been presented as ineluctable forces which signal the ‘death of geography’. The paper takes issue with this fashionable narrative. The argument that ‘geography matters’ is pursued in three ways: first, by questioning the ‘distance-destroying’ capacity of information and communication technologies where social depth is conflated with spatial reach; second, by arguing that physical proximity may be essential for some forms of knowledge exchange; and third, by charting the growth of territorial innovation systems.
