Applied Geography: Then and Now

Abstract

Applied geography has a strong legacy. However, during the Post-WWII era the discipline focused on the pursuit of science and minimized some aspects of the field, including applied geography. During the 1970s there was resurgence in applied geography and the Applied Geography Conferences played an important part in this renewal. The increased emphasis on applied geography continued to the present. Some agencies institutionalized applied geography prior to WWII and remain dedicated to its value. More recently, other organizations have increased their emphasis on applied geography and contribute to its success in academia and other workplaces that use its useful knowledge. Recent enhancements definitely have brought increased visibility and respect to this subfield. The Applied Geography Conferences must be included among them.
