"Cluster City" For Atom Age "Cluster city" la not the name of a place, but of a style of city designed de-signed especially for protection against atomic bombs. Tracy B. Augur, a city planner and a consultant to the Atomic Energy En-ergy Commission is responsible for the "cluster city" idea. Such a city, he says, would be a bunch of small cities of about 60,000 population each, all grouped together and Interrelated, In-terrelated, and separated from each other by four to five miles of open country. Augur believes that such cities would reduce to a minimum the effect ef-fect of an atomac attack and would also Increase city llvabllity.
