Civil defence in the city: federal policy meets local resistance in Baltimore, 1957-1964
Between 1950 and 1964, as a result of slight federal policy shifts, Cold War civil defence went from a pro-urban policy dedicated to the preservation of communities to an anti-urban policy focused on social control in the wake of an attack. Civil defence volunteers in Baltimore along with some of the city's civil defence paid staff, who had bought the federal message that they could protect themselves and their communities for nuclear war, allied with anti-nuclear activists against an increasingly militarized programme - one that by 1961 prioritized post-attack policing and de-emphasized the imperative to preserve urban neighbourhoods.
