Abstract
Commercial geography, bridging geography and economics, examines the spatial organization of economic activities. Amid globalization, digital transformation, and sustainability goals, the field is rapidly evolving. This paper reviews five key research areas: (1) spatial restructuring in the digital economy, (2) supply chain and value chain shifts driven by geopolitics and green transition, (3) impacts of green logistics and circular economy, (4) regeneration of commercial spaces in urban renewal, and (5) AI’s role in reshaping geographic theories. The paper highlights new theoretical insights and practical applications, supporting interdisciplinary integration and spatial governance.
