<p><em>Originally written in German <em>Der Weg zum unitären Urbanismus</em> (The Path to Unitary Urbanism)</em> is the only known text by Constant that establishes a link to the Situationist International. Constant was associated with this movement from 1958 to 1960.<br><br>The texts Constant wrote during the course of the 1950s are an outstanding record of how his conception of space developed into a notion of a complete urban habitat – ‘unitary urbanism’ – and the social space necessary for the development of human creativity.
