Text Ticker: Nuclear Urbanism
Good ol BLDGBLOG has a nice post about a Google Maps program that lets you see what a nuclear weapon would do to where you live. Also, at the end, a fantastic collection of mushroom cloud photos.
All of which is simply a long-winded way of saying that while we now tend to measure threats against our cities in terms of armed gangs or contextually minor moments of staged terrorist assault, it's still interesting to remember that, hovering over all of this, is something that could simply annihilate cities altogether.
