- From Warfare to Welfare: Defense Intellectuals and Urban Problems in Cold War America
"The image of the city as a communication system drew upon the science of cybernetics and its close cousin systems analysis, a technique for military decision making developed at the RAND Corporation in the 1940s. Electronic computers, first developed for ballistics-data processing, were also military innovations of the 1940s. That the techniques and technologies adopted to transform city planning and management in the postrenewal era were first developed for the task of military planning and management suggests another kind of revolution was under way in the American urban professions, one in which the military-industrial complex played a starring role. " ~ p. 37
