    The world is entering a new nuclear age. Nuclear weapons are returning to the fore of international statecraft in ways unseen since the Cold War. With major powers like Russia issuing threats of nuclear strikes, China and North Korea continuing to grow their arsenals, and new prospects for proliferation from the Middle East to East Asia, the world has been thrust into a new era of heightened nuclear risk. 
 
 
 
In this incisive book, international security expert Ankit Panda explores the enduring and emerging factors that are contributing to this new nuclear age. From strained great power ties to complex multipolar dynamics and the precipitous decline of arms control, he shows how our coexistence with the bomb is becoming more complicated and perilous. The prospect of nuclear escalation is again shaping how political decision-makers and military establishments around the world think and act. But unlike the peril of the Cold War, a greater number of nuclear players and a plethora of new technologies, including AI and exotic new weapons, make the search for stability far from straightforward. Managing the risks of a nuclear confrontation, he argues, will require new urgency and thinking to pull us back from the precipice of global catastrophe.

    Urban planning is the process by which cities, towns, and other urban spaces are designed, organized, and managed. It is a field that encompasses various aspects of human life, from infrastructure to social dynamics, and aims to create environments that promote the well-being of residents and the sustainability of the urban ecosystem. The importance of urban planning lies in its ability to shape the physical, social, and economic structure of a community. It influences the way people interact with their environment and with each other, determining the accessibility of resources, the flow of traffic, and the availability of green spaces, among other factors. 
The evolution of urban planning can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where early cities were often designed around central hubs of commerce, religion, or governance. In these early stages, urban planning was driven by necessity, focusing primarily on basic functions like defense, water management, and trade. Over time, as cities grew and became more complex, the need for more organized and systematic approaches to urban development emerged. This shift was marked by the introduction of formal planning principles that considered not only the practical aspects of urban life but also the aesthetic, cultural, and social needs of the inhabitants. 
In the modern era, urban planning became an established profession, with experts tasked with the responsibility of designing and managing urban spaces to meet the growing demands of an increasingly urbanized population. The industrial revolution, for example, brought about massive shifts in population density and the structure of cities. It prompted the creation of zoning laws, housing regulations, and other planning policies that addressed new challenges such as pollution, overcrowding, and public health. These developments laid the groundwork for the more sophisticated planning techniques used in contemporary cities.
