Landscape Urbanism. Year 3

For third year you might find it interesting to look through this edition of Topos it gives an overview of  theories written relating to Landscape Urbanism. If you fancy looking more in depth the Landscape Urbanism reader by Charles Waldheim is very good but quite heavy.
