“…When the economic or political institution changes, this change must be reflected in the rest of the structural institutions, and thus social change occurs [15]. Spencer crystallized the principle of similarity between society and living organisms as follows: Society is organized in the same way or exactly like the individual so that we can realize what is beyond the similarity between them, as the same definition of life applies to both [16]. Society passes through the stages of growth, maturity, and hierarchy, and this follows the same principles that determine the transformations experienced by both the inorganic and organic systems [17].…”

“…Herbert Spencer applied his biological theory to the analysis of the urban context, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of communities subject to a process of natural selection and adaptation within the context of the city through the services provided to its residents. [16]. When examining the urban environment through Spencer's lens, the city can be viewed as a complex organism subject to forces of evolution to meet the demands of the living environment.…”

Concepts of evolution theory (by Herbert Spencer) were analyzed using a Geographic Information System according to living notions in the context of an urban city. The idea of the theory was applied to the society within the context of Balad city to find out whether the concepts of contrast, integration, specialization, and exclusivity on which the theory is based have an impact on the services in the city and an effect on the structure of the social elements and the stages of its development. The research problem centered on the shortcomings of the theory in predicting and explaining the morphological and functional structure of the city, while the main objective is to analyze the concepts of biological theory according to the requirements of the context of the study area. The analysis results of the living context notions present in the city were compared with the urban housing standards using GIS to determine the extent to which the context conforms to the concept of Spencer's theory. The research found the inability of the biological side of the theory to explain the population concentration in residential neighborhoods, as well as the lack of reliance on the concepts of contrast and integration in predicting the reasons for the growth and expansion of the city, and that the city neighborhoods showed a variance in their services without showing integration and exclusivity in these services, that is, the lack of integration organic between the biological parts of the city.
