This paper presents the metaphor of engineering and the social sciences located on either side of a chasm and connected by the bridge of information geography. Information geography is not an integral part of engineering and is a new field within geography, a social science discipline. The specialty of information geography is one of the newest in human geography, and as its name suggests, it attempts to explore the territorial dimension of the information society. The article attempts to present selected elements of the social sciences, the engineering sciences, and information geography in order to show their similarities, their differences in approaches, and the missing links in the information age. The article also explains how information geography can connect the social sciences and engineering. The first section discusses the challenges new technologies present to the social sciences with their attention to societal needs. The second section explains some of the weaknesses of the social understanding of engineering and explains the ambition of some engineers to acquire a social role in the information age. The third section discusses the possible role of information geography as a bridge between engineering and the social sciences. In the fourth section, the bridging role of the geography of information is presented, based upon its foundations: accumulated knowledge and direct focus on information technologies and how they shape places and global situations; the global and regional mapping of impacts of information technology; policy perspectives and changes in urban and regional planning in the information age; and the fundamental work done for the understanding of the dynamics of humans in their environments following changes induced by new technologies (e.g., new personal mobilities).
