A while back I published a post about Emotional Geography. I never really did anything with it, but as online maps have swept the imagination since then, I’ve often lamented how narrow map-thinking has become.

We have hundreds of useful, interesting applications that use great new map technology, but I can’t help but think that it’s made us a bit smaller in considering what space is, and thinking about how places make (made) us feel.

We’re a lot better at knowing how to get from here to there, but there’s got to be more.

Recently I’ve gotten a bunch of emails and had some conversations with geographers about the concept of emotional geography. It seems that it has become a robust line of thinking and my post ranks high for the term on search engines. So I’ve resurrected my old URL as a new place to hold some thinking. Here’s EmotionalGeography.com.
