This singularity constitutes a systemic model for mega-region eco-design; impacting societal, architectural, urban and governance aspects; transcending local and global scales; and shifting the rhetoric on globalisation, world-system, climate change, architectural and urban epistemology.

The idea of a hierarchical geographical scale (global-national-local) has been a powerful tool to govern political dynamics for many centuries. Even if it is possible to sustain that globalisation processes of the last 40 years have had at their core precisely a huge re-scaling process [Brenner 1999], at the same time their very output has been a trend towards a world that is not any more organised around a scale [Farinelli 2008]. Interconnections, supply chains, global flows, migration processes etc. are constantly reshaping the ways in which the globalised world is shaped in an immediate and intimate trans-scalar pattern, where cities are the strategic hearts and engines of this emerging configuration [Sassen 2005; Khanna 2017]. The session looks into this scenario from a two perspectives: on the one hand, elaborating a genealogical approach to study such dynamics, considering that every transformation has profound and complex historical proveniences that should be traced and explored; on the other hand, we proposed to reflect on the concept of «trans-urban», meaning to focus on dynamics, trends, and processes that both historically and today have been and are taking their forms "simultaneously" within many different cities, exploring the urban as a matrix and a matter that is neither local nor global, but rather something that constitutively goes beyond a world made as a scale. Moreover, the panel focuses on going beyond the glorification of global cities as the unique paradigm for framing contemporary urban dynamics within the planetary dimension, and in this way another concept was mobilised: «the glocal» [Gills 1993]. This meta-dimension has been proposed as a move to dialogue with the changing rhetoric that is growing with the integration of the «five-thousand-year world-system» theory supported by Andre G. Frank and Barry K. Gills since 1993, replacing the first world-system in the Bronze Age, distancing the modern capitalism usually associated with [Wallerstein 1974], and taking globalisation as a key indicator of the world-system's ever-changing hegemonic phase.

By observing the gastrulation of the frog egg, that René Thom read "mathematically" the image of a singularity: a fold. This first intuition, he has deepened it through the reading of embryology treatises; he gets particularly inspired by the “Epigenetic landscape” of the biologist Conrad H. Waddington.
With this analogical landscape of peaks and valleys, Waddington explains what epigenetics, genotype, and phenotype are, showing the cell characterization through its evolution facing the landscape topological constraints. Based on this model, Thom can set his own the “Embryon epigenetic landscape”, comprehends the morphogenesis dynamic and found a new discipline: the semiophysics.
Based mainly on Gibson's Affordances Theory and Thom's Catastrophe Theory, Patrice Ceccarini has laid down the foundation of a System Design and Projective Ecologies (SD&PE) methodology called the Environmental Genetic Code (EGC) putting semiophysics and linguistics in the core of architectural and urban edification and epistemology.

This book - the fourth part of a return of experience and reflection on the construction of an economy of ecosystems - clearly poses the missing pivots of the circular economy: Land and Metropolization. Faced with hyper-total territorial production - inherent to the stranglehold of financial capital, imposing buildings that are out of scale and out of system - which distorts the urban system, this raises the question of the intelligence of limits. Jean-Claude Lévy has analyzed this phenomenon and opens the field of possibilities in the light of the obscure clarity of China in transit, of our values and our past and future struggles in the service of the Public Thing.

The reader will remember two images: the first is that of the vineyard, persistent and resistant, in the middle of the great industrial site of the Rhone south of Lyon. The second will be that of the Portes du Tarn, with its project committing it to elaborate and realize, hic et nunc, innovative solutions respectful of ecology, a scientific requirement for the safeguard of the habitability of the World, in the diversity of its territories. This book unveils the "circular economy" and its imperative of a public responsibility - taking into account social needs, in their interfaces with the environment and nature, and, at the intersection of their flow of materials and energy, and their representation in the financial system.
