Globalisation and digitalisation have been presented as inescapable forces which signal the ‘death of geography’; this article takes issue with this fashionable narrative. The counter argument that ‘geography matters’ is pursued in three ways: first, by questioning the ‘distance-destroying’ capacity of infonnation and communication technologies, where social depth is conflated with spatial reach; second, by arguing that physical proximity may be essential for some forms of knowledge exchange; and third, by charting the growth of territorial innovation systems.
