description In a rising urban age planning for cities around the globe is increasingly based on assessments of ecosystemservices, making enhanced considerations of ecosystem service justice critically important. Yet, justice remains a‘blind spot’in urban ecosystem service models and research, which can be traced back to the ecological andeconomic legacies of the concept itself. This legacy reproduces the normative focus on natural capital as aguarantee of sustaining ecosystem services, enforces a static understanding of nature that insufficiently considershuman agency, and conceptualizes ecosystem serviceflows from nature to humans in a way that does not reflectthe social-ecological structure and constantly shifting priorities of the urban realm.
