From 1956, when he first published, to his passing on 20 February 2018, the teaching and publications of this Professor Emeritus had a major impact on several generations of geographers and cartographers. His work lives on since he is currently being rediscovered by some researchers and we can only wish for it to continue for a long time as Waldo Tobler has profoundly renewed and transformed cartography. He truly contributed to making cartography Conversation suggested by :

De 1956, date de sa première publication, au 20 février 2018 où Waldo Tobler nous a quittés, ce professeur émérite a marqué par ses écrits et ses enseignements plusieurs générations de géographes et de cartographes, et ceci par vagues successives, puisqu’il semble que certains chercheurs le redécouvrent actuellement. Ceci devrait continuer longtemps – et nous ne pouvons que le souhaiter – car ce chercheur a complètement renouvelé, Conversation proposée par :

About fractal models in urban geography and planning: refuting the aesthetics and the universal norm
Fractal models have been used in urban geography for forty years. Their main applications were for analyzing urban forms but they were also used to simulate urban growth. Research in the field has significantly contributed to better characterise the local and global shape of cities and to better understand their evolutions. Yet concomitantly, one can deplore the circulation of some myths about the interpretation of fractal analysis results and
