Milton Santos (Brazilian geographer)

Milton Santos was a prominent Brazilian geographer known for analyzing how globalization and technological advances impact society and urban development. He emphasized the importance of understanding spatial inequalities—how resources, opportunities, and access vary across different regions and communities. Santos highlighted the interconnectedness of local, regional, and global processes, advocating for equitable development that considers social and environmental factors. His work encourages looking at geography not just as physical landscapes but as a dynamic tool to understand and improve human living conditions, promoting social justice and sustainable urban growth.
