• This paper addresses the question of the history of geography in US and Canadian societies. It shows that in spite of the apprehension of space as a constitutive element of North American identity, geography was only slowly institutionalized in academia. American and Canadian geographers, however, have constantly interpreted the economic and social changes affecting their countries and the continent more generally. Since the 1940s their methods have become more specifically adapted to the study of a land where history had not shaped landscapes in the same way as in Europe. Thus the fields of environment, economic and urban (or suburban) geography have been significantly developed. Claval Paul. L’Amérique du Nord des géographes.
