World at Home: Home in the World

This chapter concludes the exploration of transnational spaces by fully zooming out the perspectives on spatial diversification of global cities by re-contextualizing these dynamics at a global scale. It incorporates global mental mapping by transnational professionals, analyzing their spatial perceptions. This chapter synthesizes empirical results through a spatial-theoretical lens and engages in a comprehensive conceptual debate about the spatial transformation of global cities on a global scale. It reveals how the transnational space is shaped by global economic structures and the socio-spatial practices of transnational professionals, illustrating that these spaces are not just trans-local but deeply embedded in a broader transnational context. It concludes the co-existence of the paradoxically simultaneous phenomena of universality of superdiversification on the one hand, and the universal convergence in global cities on the other.
