Thanks for this Alex! In terms of new intellectual synthesis / political philosophy I thought Ocalan's fusing of Kurdish workers party as in the case of the PKK with Bookchin/Biel (Eco-Anarchism/Eco-feminism) is pointing in am interesting direction - and at least for insular me came as a surprise or "leftfield" so to speak. Before catching up with what is happening in Rojava I was pretty oblivious towards PKK based on my last encounter with PKK supporter in the 1990ies in Germany. Back then PKK similar to ETA felt a bit "nationalistic" to me ... It is however not a urban movement but I would think it can count as an example that the intellectual synthesis you are calling for is on the way.
