Published on behalf of the KNAG (Royal Dutch Geographical Society), TESG is one of the longest standing journals in the field and a leading international journal on contemporary research and debates in human geography since 1910.
The TESG Forum on Rob Tamsma’s (1972) “The Northern Netherlands: Large Problem Area in a Small Country, Small Problem Area in a Large Economic Community”–edited by @evertmeijers.bsky.social, Martijn Smit, @michielvanmeeteren.bsky.social is online (free access)

The failure of the #Netherlands to disperse jobs beyond the #Randstad was more sociological than economic.
Resistance —as @michielvanmeeteren.bsky.social & @martijnjsmit.bsky.social argue in @tesg-journal.bsky.social— came from civil servant’s deep-seated space preferences.

New publication! I had the pleasure to write about a colourful figure in the History of Dutch geography: Robert Tamsma (1922-2005). Disciplinary innovator and public geographer, but also stuck between generations of scholarship. @tesg-journal.bsky.social

Very happy to receive the TESG Best Paper Award for my research on Chinese green finance investment in Thailand!
It explores how Cold War infrastructures are being converted into green assets functioning as an eco-temporal fix—helping the military junta navigate political instability.
New in TESG: “Grocery Retail Location Patterns in Brno: Clustering, Inequality and Street Network Centrality". The study maps how national and multinational grocery chains cluster across Brno, revealing the role of connectivity and urban form.

We are excited to introduce GeoGraphica! Our new article type that puts maps and visual storytelling at the center. Since "The Netherlands in Maps" ended in 2016, we’ve lacked a home for cartographic creativity. GeoGraphica brings it back. Geography, seen as well as read. More coming soon!

Bottom line: inequality & segregation are linked, but take different shapes across cities. Local housing markets, demographics and policy matter.
