Friedman used photomontages of actual city sites to explain the principle. Especially the montages of the centre of Paris published in 1959 gained wide attention and accelerated his principles to other themes of discussion. Over the years he used the principle of the Ville Spatiale in many competition entries to gain interest for his ideas and the possibilities they represented.
From 1998 Friedman’s ideas regained a lot of interest. His Ville Spatiale then often figured as an expression of art or philosophy.
