Finance & Space (Fingeo)


Climate Community Collaborative Symposium

Finance & Space is a pioneering interdisciplinary journal focusing on diverse aspects of the spatial production of finance and the financial production of space. As such, it addresses some of the most profound processes and pressing challenges of our times, including digitization, neoliberalization, financialization, globalization and deglobalization, uneven development, power, and inequalities, (in)security, the environmental crisis, and the role of finance in building more sustainable economies.

While dedicated to a geographical imagination, the journal is founded on the belief that advancing our understanding of the changing finance-space nexus requires an interdisciplinary approach and heterodox thinking about finance across space and time. This includes, but is not limited to, political economy and political science, economics and regional science, sociology, anthropology, housing studies, environmental studies, financial history, development studies, and urban and regional planning, in addition to geography, regional studies, and urban studies.

The distinctive purpose of Finance and Space is to connect insights across intellectual disciplines in a systematic and grounded way to understand how and why finance and space co-evolve, and impacts on economy, society, and the environment. The journal is a pluralist forum, which showcases diverse perspectives and analytical techniques. As a member of the Global Financial Geography Network Executive Committee, Dr. Janelle Knox-Hayes is a nominated founding editor of the journal Finance & Space.
