unitary urbanism “unitary urbanism constructs a location for cultural practice within an urban environment to challenge dominant systems of power through a theoretical model. There is an operative political strategy embedded within the agenda to produce ‘situations and experimental models of possible modes of transformation of the city, as well as to agitate and polemicize against the sterility and oppression of the actual environment and ruling economic and political system. The merger of art practice and social behavior politicizes the events within daily routine and everyday existence.”
