Short summary
The article presents conceptual contributions of geography to studies of futures. While the future is conceived as a temporal category, geographical perspectives highlight the role and relevance of space. The spatial dimension becomes evident in future-making practices such as imagination and anticipation, especially in the visualization of desirable futures. Future-making and geography-making are interdependent practices, which are articulated through the projection of imagined futures into space.
