This books focuses specifically on an “applied economics” of landscapes. It means that landscape is investigated here in a completely new setting and academic perspective, starting from the economic, social, and geographical perspective, and then moving to planning, ecological and environmental implications. Likely for the first time in the literature, this book is specifically dealing with landscape science in a perspective of geo-economic disciplines. While preferring an applied perspective to a completely theoretical point of view, the book offers a completely novel approach to landscape complexity—not demising the territorial and environmental issues and implications—but re-framing the debate in the perspective of the human impact on landscape transformations: Landscape change is here envisioned as an economic and geographic problem together.
