Abstract

This article offers a historical introduction to situationist theory and practice in connection with functionalist architecture, urban economies, examples of countercultural political action and their recuperation within the logics of technocratic organization of cities.

This allows us to define, from a genealogical perspective, some key interpretations of the main ideological and economic features of contemporary urban systems, which in turn can provide with a context to reflect upon current possibilities for a socially committed urbanism.
