However, little attention has been given to how pets make their presence and needs visible in urban spaces and their rights within the city. This paper examines pets' entanglements with humans in public spaces, drawing on the concepts of <i>public address</i> and <i>the right to the city</i>. By extending these ideas beyond anthropocentric urban geographies to encompass pet agency and animal geographies in the city, this paper discusses the forms of pets' public address. It explores how the public address ‘animals’ public spaces, emphasizing the dynamic and fluid relationships between pets and humans. Additionally, it investigates what rights pets hold in different cities and how these rights are exercised. As pet populations grow and conflicts between humans and pets intensify, this paper proposes future directions for researching the public address and the right to the city of animals.</p>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reviews participatory mapping, participatory GIS (PGIS), and Citizen Science approaches, examining their applications and methodologies in rural contexts. The review reveals that PGIS excels in integrating spatial technologies for community-driven data visualization and planning, while Citizen Science fosters broad community involvement and data collection. Both approaches enhance stakeholder empowerment and inclusivity but face challenges such as technological accessibility, cultural sensitivity, and sustaining long-term engagement. By analyzing case studies in rural territories, the paper presents the methodologies and their role in addressing complex socio-environmental issues.

This secondary group of geophysical changes has the potential to act as a relatively new complex of forces likely to increase or accelerate rates of change in different pathways. These pathways include: (1) changes in ocean mass since 2000 driven by climate-driven ice-melt water; (2) Changes in tectonic plate seismicity affected by changes in water type and availability; (3) Earth spin perturbation and polar drift due to polar/glacier ice disappearance and increases in global water mass and displacement; (4) the effects of changed planetary spin on the “crustal deformation rate and mass redistribution on the plate tectonic scale.” Causative uncertainties in such scientific analyses concerning the extent of correlation with the role of climate change continues; in the meantime, however, socio-technical research platforms examining possible climate eschata outline the importance of waste and over-production from complex consumer systems. Over-production and waste allow the suggestion of a carbon trilemma underpinning the eschatological pathways and suggest the need for eschatological geographies examining the need to understand the social dynamics of mass consumption, geophysical changes driven by that mass consumption and the avoidance of accelerated climate catastrophe. In Geography, the sociotechnical and physical roots of global warming demand a fundamental re-examination of the ‘divide’ between human and physical geography. There are few geographical topics which require a more urgent combination of human/physical analysis than the potential lethality of climate change and the connection between over-production and planetary changes through the conduit of mass waste. Eschatological geographies could potentially lead to more optimistic futures through the abandonment of waste/emission/polluting systems, but they can also indicate where global mass consumption will self-terminate as a system.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143513700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sound art has long been concerned with issues of spatiality, place and environment and yet interest in sound art from human geographers has been somewhat sparse, particularly when compared to the wealth of literature on visual art in the discipline. In this context, the paper does three things. First, it reviews debates in sound art theory to highlight how sound art is often discussed as performing critical interventions in perceptions of space. Second, it examines how such interventions have been engaged by human geographers in the limited body of literature currently existing on sound art in the discipline, which suggests that sound art can reveal some of the unheard histories, experiences and voices of spaces. Finally, it suggests that geographic engagements with sound art might productively explore the contention, legible in recent work in sound studies and philosophy, that sound art can create spaces of affect in which an audience is exposed to the limits of prevailing schemas of audibility. Rather than producing a better or more accurate representation of space, the paper argues that sound art instead can provoke affective encounters with alternative temporalities, silences and non-human life.</p>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I review leisure, spatial studies and geographies literature on urban public space and urban experience and present how such space can relate to migrant integration as a socialising stage or entertaining hub, as well as the potential of adopting the human-environment nexus embodied in urban experience to understand social (non-)inclusion and migrant integration. In view of these linkages, integration is arguably redefined from a people–place interactive, spatial and design perspective, with the everyday experience of migrants and influence of urban public space’s (in)visible features on human bodies and minds, behaviours and emotions noted.

Yet, there is limited knowledge of how urbanisation in the Global South has been modelled. In this study, we examine how urbanisation has been modelled in cities in the Global South, highlighting progress made and identifying key emerging issues for future research. Based on a review of 149 articles, we find an increasing preference for hybrid models that combine simple modelling approaches with more complex deep learning approaches. However, the advantages of hybrid approaches over stand-alone models in terms of prediction power has not been strongly established in the literature. We also find that most of the applications do not directly account for the social processes that generate the urban expansion patterns we observe in the region. As a result, the validation of most models has been limited to the ‘where’ (locations) and ‘when’ (time) and not the ‘who’ (socio-economic characteristics of occupants of location at a given point in time). The application of the models is highly localised as most studies do not model more than one city. This review could serve as a foundation for improving how urbanisation is modelled in the Global South.</p>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143370079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims to contribute to ongoing debates on the questioning of Anglo-American hegemony and the decolonisation of geographic scholarship through the analysis of the <i>where</i> of urban knowledge production in terms of the location of the authors and the places studied. Our analyses clearly highlight the highly selective nature of the geopolitics of urban knowledge production. And yet, this selectivity is not only based on, and related to, the North-South divide, but also develops between cities and universities, defining an unequal and multiscalar geography of who and from where one can speak and be heard. Moreover, the geography of the places studied contradicts any claims of post/decolonising urban theory, of ‘urban theorising from anywhere’, of Southern, subaltern, alternative urban perspectives, and so on.

The focus has shifted from just the nomads themselves to also considering the destinations they inhabit and the broader spatial implications of their movement. This review sets out a research agenda based on emerging discussions about the geographies of digital nomadism, organized around four main thematic areas. The first cluster of scholarly works examines how digital nomads are understood at the crossroads of work-life, leisure and lifestyle mobility perspectives. The second part includes studies that explore how states are crafting migration regulations and programs to attract digital nomads, along with the difficulties that nomads face in navigating these evolving regulatory landscapes. The third cluster of scholarship investigates the intricate interplay between digital nomadism and housing, focussing on the rise of a medium-term rental market and diverse housing solutions tailored to digital nomads, while cautioning against the potential gentrifying effects of these emerging markets. Finally, the fourth segment of research examines the socio-economic infrastructural changes arising from the growing presence of digital nomadism within urban settlements. This includes their role in fostering local innovation as well as their influence in local economic and labour restructuring.

In particular, we consider the possibilities for a planetarily-oriented cultural geography beyond anthropocentrism, a social geography of housing that focuses on the concept of planetary habitability, and an economic geography that centers the trans-historical and trans-geographical impact of plantation logics. From our point of view, the planetary is not simply an additional scale but rather a style of thought that increasingly characterizes our present.
