In the future, the world may experience a significant change of social, economic and ecological nature in contemporary cities, which will shape future legal human settlements. The full extent of connectivity in all urban dimensions and the rapid development of urbanization indicate the foreseeable future. It will show how a living law could overcome the natural order of things with regards to the functioning of future cities by implementation of augmented tools, planning by parameters and open source software. However, all natural phenomena practiced by human beings in living cities are influenced by human actions, material and non-material urban structure, which are regulated by law. The scarcity of regulations could be related to the nature of place, time or scale through communication relations and feedback of technological systems. Becoming aware of the social dimension of urban areas will drive environmental change at multiple scales. Taking into consideration regulations and main legal aims, such dimensions as human demands of production, consumption, and land use. For the future, global environmental changes are overwhelmed by dramatic processes, linked with various aspects of risk which, in the end, create a lack of regulations on global and international levels. Cities themselves reveal serious problems that treat their existence in an increasingly urbanized world. Thus, the main issue of such legal particular theses is to propose particular legal constructions to fill the lack which has been formed by various natural limits of resources and solutions for the management. It highlights the prognoses of the ultimate system characteristics that, in unique combinations, create scarcity through human action and global processes. Following this line of thought, the paper presents an original perspective involving the possibility of how accelerating urbanization and the idea of the smarter city could provide a universal pattern of the city legislation system.
