Summary
Changes acceleration in these first decades of the XXI Century require a permanent updating of all kind of socioeconomic analysis. The capital accumulation at this global scale seems paradoxically collapse its own increasing possibilities (Smith 1984), disclosing the implosion of the financial crisis of 2007 and allowing the explosions of climate change and new pandemic and of political populisms and new nationalisms. A complex analysis is needed from a renewed discipline of Political Economy both for a scientific explanation and for the advancement of new political proposals. Summarizes the great economic, social, political and cultural changes, extracted from the reflections of the PRIN team (Carreras, Martínez-Rigol 2019). It remarks some concrete changes at an urban scale. Suggests the possibilities of some differential urbanization processes, on the way of the planetary urbanization (Brenner 2014)
