Atomville
In the post-Hiroshima era, atomic cities-designed to survive a nuclear attack-remain in the science fiction realm. Yet Hungarian émigré Paul Laszlo, a successful architect in Southern California suburbia, had a utopian vision for a futuristic, paradoxically luxurious atomic city he called "Atomville," never built but nonetheless seriously proposed. Laszlo was one of the very few architects known to venture into atomic survival on this scale. This…

Why Mit’s History Matters
Exporting MIT
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) emerged from World War II with an impressive, worldwide reputation in basic and applied science and engineering. After redefining its own engineering education in the 1950s, MIT responded to the challenge of U.S. policy makers and foundation officials and its own sense of mission in engineering research, teaching, and practice by assisting in establishing new technical institutions of higher education a…
The City as Communications Net
Civilian defense, particularly the security of large cities, has lately been a prominent focus of government and popular attention. This article deals with a manuscript by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology mathematician Norbert Wiener that dates from an earlier period in which such concerns spurred vigorous debates over the value, moral direction, and appropriate social role of technology. In the months following August 1949, when the Sov…

Selling Silicon Valley
This paper explores the origins of the Silicon Valley model for regional economic development, and attempts to deploy this model elsewhere in the United States and abroad. Frederick Terman, Stanford's provost, first envisioned its unique partnership of academia and industry, and trained the first generation of students who effected it. He patiently cultivated an aggressively entrepreneurial culture in what he called “the newly emerging community …
Electronics and the geography of innovation in post‐war America
This study looks at three important centres of post‐war American electronics research and manufacturing ‐ the Princeton corridor in New Jersey, Dallas, Texas, and Silicon Valley ‐ as a way of understanding shifting patterns of regional competitiveness. We consider each of these technoregions not as models but rather as ecologies of mutually dependent institutions, corporate, academic, and governmental. We were especially intrigued by the attempts…
