		The idea of a unitary urbanism was generated on the one hand by the experiments into the dérive and psychogeography, invented and practiced by the lettrists; and on the other by the building research undertaken by a few modern architects and sculptors.
		Unitary urbanism, as the Amsterdam Declaration states, can be defined as a complex and permanent activity that consciously recreates the human environment according to the most evolved concepts of all disciplines.
		Unitary urbanism is not a cultural work but a permanent activity, and this activity began at the very moment that the notion of unitary urbanism was born.

		The main achievement of contemporary city planning is to have made people blind to the possibility of what we call unitary urbanism, namely a living critique of this manipulation of cities and their inhabitants, a critique fueled by all the tensions of everyday life.
		Unitary urbanism is the contrary of a specialized activity; to accept a separate urbanistic domain is already to accept the whole urbanistic lie and the falsehood permeating the whole of life.
		With the advent of unitary urbanism, present city planning (that geology of lies) will be replaced by a technique for defending the permanently threatened conditions of freedom, and individuals — who do not yet exist as such — will begin freely constructing their own history.

		Unitary urbanism is defined first of all as the use of all arts and techniques as means contributing to the composition of a unified milieu.
		Unitary urbanism must, for example, determine the acoustic environment as well as the distribution of different varieties of food and drink.
		The most elementary unit of unitary urbanism is not the house, but the architectural complex, which combines all the factors conditioning an ambiance, or a series of clashing ambiances, on the scale of the constructed situation.

		Such is the case with the origins of unitary urbanism (UU), intuited as early as 1953 and first named as such at the end of 1956 in a tract distributed on the occasion of a demonstration by our Italian comrades in Turin.
		Unitary urbanism is one of the central concerns of the SI and, despite any delays and difficulties that might arise in its application, it is entirely correct (as the opening report of the Munich conference confirms) that unitary urbanism has already begun at the moment that it appears as a program of research and development.
		The functionalists, who are the expression of the technological utilitarianism of the era, cannot successfully build a single church if one considers that the cathedral was once the unitary accomplishment of a society that one has to call primitive, given that it was much further embedded than we are in the miserable prehistory of humanity.

	The Hacienda must be destroyed
		A key reference point in the early years of the SI was "unitary urbanism", a phrase coined by the Lettrist Gil Wolman in 1956.
		The adjective "unitary" referred initially to a practice capable of using the most modern developments in both technology and art (here again the positive capacities of technology are assumed).
		In later usage the stress was on the capacity of a new urbanism to encompass the playful design and construction of both environments and behaviours: a concept akin to that of the constructed situation and closely related to the concept, advanced earlier by Debord, of the "architectural complex"

		And, indeed, the modern art of this period turns out to have been dominated by, and almost exclusively composed of, camouflaged repetitions -- a stagnation that bespeaks of both the definitive exhaustion of the entire old theatre of cultural operations as well as the incapacity to discover a new one.
		First all of, UU is not a doctrine of urbanism but a critique of urbanism.

		Urbanism, as it is understood by today's professional planners, is reduced to the practical study of housing and traffic as isolated problems.
		The total lack of alternatives involving play in the organization of social life prevents urbanism from attaining the level of creation, and the gloomy and sterile appearance of most modern neighborhoods is a shameful reminder of this.
		The investigation of technology and its exploitation for recreational ends on a higher plane is one of the most pressing tasks required to facilitate creation of a unitary urbanism on the scale demanded by the society of the future.

		Unitary urbanism acknowledges no boundaries; it aims to form an integrated human milieu in which separations such as work/leisure or public/private will finally be dissolved.
		But before this is possible, the minimum action of unitary urbanism is to extend the terrain of play to all desirable constructions.
		Urbanism should certainly not ignore the automobile, but even less should it accept it as its central theme.

		Unitary urbanism would battle against planners and efficiency experts and men in suits who sat in fancy offices high above everyone else; it would work against market-driven cities, too, against cities where spaces became “abstract” commodities, monopolized by the highest bidder.
		The unitary city would be disruptive and playful, reuniting all that had been physically and socially sundered, emphasizing forgotten and beleaguered places, mysterious corners, quiet squares, teeming neighborhoods, sidewalks filled with strollers, parks with old-timers in berets sitting on the benches.
		In their inimitable way, these are all raw attempts to “concretize” unitary urbanism, to make it more graphic; though it’s hard to see any of this as a “hyper-architecture of desire”—as the book’s subtitle puts it—especially since none of the images contains people.

		This is as explicit an instruction for unitary urbanism that one could find in situationist writing, whose work was always meant to inspire rather than prescribe, or organize.

		Although Jane Jacobs's (1961) critique of modernist planning undergirds much of the new urbanism, she would probably repudiate its effort to prescribe what in her view must be spontaneous.
		In conformity with the vision of the new urbanism, spatial forms are physically diverse, development is at very high density, and population is mixed by class and, to a lesser extent, ethnically.
