At its core, the manifesto envisions the hundred largest global cities as nodal points in a reimagined transnational urbanity, where traditional centralized planning yields to nomadic, inclusive protocols that incorporate diverse bodies, cultural identities, affective physics, and advanced technologies.

The Trans-Lighthouse Manifesto, authored by Anto Lloveras (with E. Lorenzo), constitutes a pivotal speculative-operational text within the Socioplastics corpus, first presented as a paper titled FAROS_TRANS: The Trans-Lighthouse Manifesto at the I International Congress of Ecological Humanities at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) in May 2023. Positioned at the confluence of ecological humanities, critical urbanism, and socioplastic theory, the manifesto deploys the lighthouse not as a solitary monumental beacon but as a distributed, transnational infrastructure of care, signaling, and relational repair amid civilizational crisis. It formulates a universal vision for the "TRANS-LIGHTHOUSE" as speculative literature projecting future humanity, advocating leaps of scale that forge a hybrid sensibility capable of reconciling utopian aspiration with pragmatic intervention. This hybridity bridges antagonistic poles—speculation and execution, ecology and urbanism—by reframing the planetary city network as an interconnected, dispersed body.
