Geography in the workplace
Geography plays a crucial role in many professions. It helps professionals understand spatial relationships, such as the location of markets, transport networks and natural resources. In sectors such as urban planning, logistics, environmental consulting and international trade, geographical knowledge is essential for making strategic decisions.
Furthermore, it promotes understanding of cultural and regional differences, which is important in an increasingly globalised working environment.
