| Abstract: | This paper offers an introductory overview over the points of contact between landscape architecture and economics, and shows that economics has been fundamental to landscape practice throughout the centuries. It points towards the neglect of histories of labour and materials in landscape studies and the disconnect between landscape history and urban political ecology, two fields of scholarship which have much to offer each other. |
