This course introduces the study of human geography, which is the study of the spatial organization of human activity and people's relationships with their environment. It provides knowledge about the creation of places and regions, and the interdependence of places and regions in a globalizing world. Topics include: the distribution of languages and religions; geographies of economic development; agriculture and food production; the politics of territory and spaces; urbanization; and future geographies of space, technology and the environment.
