This is a book review of the handbook: Visualisierung Qualitativer Geographien – Ein Handbuch.

In Après la ville, Pierre Veltz offers a perceptive analysis of the profound transformations reshaping 21st‑century cities and urban spaces. He argues that the morphological definition of the city — and the radioconcentric model that structured 20th‑century urban studies — has now become obsolete. Indeed, thanks to increasingly dense networks and territorial ramifications linking major cities, the urban condition now asserts itself everywhere.

This review examines Chris Philo’s Adorno and the Antifascist Geographical Imagination (2025), which develops an antifascist geographical imagination through a detailed engagement with Theodor W. Adorno’s work. It highlights the book’s key contribution in rendering Adorno’s critical theory productive for human geography by foregrounding its spatial dimensions.
