Preferred term

nuclear war  

Definition(s)

  • The specific influence of thermonuclear weapons on urban systems and urban design has received little attention in urban studies despite the importance of the city, urban forms, and urban economics in strategic nuclear planning. In the 1960s, Yale political scientist Bernard Brodie calculated that cities of over 100,000 population were the only targets of sufficient economic value to justify the use of atomic weapons.
