This essay focuses on the relationship between patterns of urban development and nuclear threat in the U.S. on both the material and symbolic levels. The perceived nuclear threat is two-pronged: the domestic threat of nuclear research and tests run by the U.S. Government on American soil, and the foreign one involving doomsday scenarios of thermonuclear war.
