An idea that it might be possible to organise or design spaces where emancipatory potential is embraced, allowing autonomous collectively shaped spaces. The 'Unsmooth City' fosters diverse experiences and uses of space, simmilar to a theater script interpreted differently by each actor. While in a "smooth" highly scripted city, contantly signifying, navigating, prohibiting, spaces become more predictable, the concept of unsmoothness doesn't imply a complete lack of structure. It supports multiple narratives, allowing them to remain open to various interpretations. Thus showing that scripts and unsmoothness can enhance each other.
