Resumen

La globalización está en la raíz de muchos problemas perversos en los que el localismo ha sido una respuesta común. Sin embargo, tales problemas suelen ser demasiado complejos e interconectados para ser resueltos al nivel de lo local. Además, si los estilos de vida futuros, basados en el lugar, y propugnados por el Diseño para la Transición han de ser de alta calidad, será necesario desarrollar formas de vida cotidiana auto-organizadas y conectadas a múltiples escalas: desde los hogares a los barrios, las ciudades, las regiones, y el planeta. Esta conexión simbiótica entre los diferentes niveles de la escala de la vida cotidiana, de lo local, al planeta como un todo, integraría dos tradiciones antiguas y distintas –cosmopolitismo y localismo– y sería la base para un nuevo tipo de asentamiento social, cultural, político y económico, el Localismo Cosmopolita.
