This book presents a bold and original framework for reimagining cities as living and evolving systems. It argues that the future of urbanism lies in understanding the city as both genetic and quantum: a coded organism shaped by inheritance, memory, and identity, yet animated by uncertainty, feedback, and indeterminacy. Across eight interconnected chapters, the book moves from theory to transformation. It begins by unpacking the concept of ‘Urban DNA’, showing how cities inherit structures and meanings much like biological organisms. It then introduces ‘Quantum Urbanism’, a framework that explains how uncertainty, feedback, and probability shape contemporary urban life. In doing so, it explores reprogramming, mutation, and regeneration as key mechanisms of urban evolution, tracing how design, governance, and technology can act as instruments of renewal. Throughout, the book challenges deterministic thinking and the idea that the city can be mastered through prediction, efficiency, or optimization. Instead, it proposes a post-deterministic urbanism that embraces complexity as creative material. In this new paradigm, the planner becomes a curator of conditions, the architect a designer of adaptive frameworks, and governance a platform for continual learning.
