Industry and Economic Landscapes

Economics is the social science focused on the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. It includes a wide range of our daily activities, including what we do for a living and how we spend our money. Nearly every economic exchange has spatial dimension to it, and exchanges occur on a number of spatial scales. Economic geography helps us understand how wealth is created, distributed and moves between individuals, communities and even countries.

Photo Galleries below are organized by several themes of interest to geographers.
