This study explores 2071’s severe climate, topographic, social, and economic hurdles in futuristic cities. They require innovative designs to manage energy, resources, and population fluctuations amid abundance or scarcity. Drawing inspiration from nature’s morphogenesis, it employs Darwin’s evolution theory and natural selection. Urban design simplifies complex systems through the Theory of Emergence, encompassing networks, nodes, open spaces, and built structures.
