Cultural Geography
March 29, 2019 | 7:30
The study of cultural geography involves observing places and their features with all of our senses to learn more about the people who live there. Cultural geography is about people, not maps. How people interact with, shape, and transform the land they live on can be indicators of their shared beliefs, practices, and values. Consciously observing human interaction with the physical environment can help you pick up on clues and context to better orient to a place you have never been. It can help you to expand your knowledge and become confident in your understanding. By suspending judgment and thinking holistically about the various technologies and trends that change a place over time, you are better able to understand the challenges and opportunities you may face in a particular area of operations.
