Preferred term

geography of public policy  

Definition

  • The geography of public policy concerns spatial and human-environmental aspects of the origin, formulation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of public policy. Many American geographers have made important contributions to domestic public policy, including Henry Gannett on census geography in the late 19th century, Gilbert White on water issues in the mid 20th century, and Brian Berry on metropolitan issues in the late 20th century.
