- Title
The exaggerated death of geography: learning, proximity and territorial innovation systems.
- Authors

- Abstract
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.
