4. Lund University / Social Science / Human Geography / 2012-03-27 Human geography is concerned with the understanding of the dynamics of cultures, societies and economies and puts this understanding of social and physical processes within the context of places and regions - recognising the great differences in cultures, political systems, economies, landscapes and environments across the world, and the links between them. Understanding the causes of differences and inequalities between places and social groups underlie much of the newer developments in human geography.
