Some time ago I wrote a talking paper on the emergence of our new world as we spoke about in the Urban Revolution of CS-I. But I now thing it is happening much faster than we had ever imagined. We are rapidly shifting to the primacy of the Regionalis dynamic (Area-Region-Metro) as the key to the new polity. Here is the link to a book I just heard talked about on the PBS news hour.
