It is hard to comprehend what the immediate aftermath must have been like in Hiroshima. There were the grim tasks of collecting the bodies and burning them, of clearing the rubble and debris. In all. 11. 5 square kilometers had to be cleared and surveyed—a painstaking process that took four years. But after the most destructive event in the history of warfare, normalcy did return—slowly, fitfully but, eventually, resoundingly. Hiroshima today is a pleasant, prosperous city of 1. 1 million people, with everyday concerns that are mostly no different from those of any other city in the developed world. One day in mid-July, Hiroshima’s mayor, the M. I. T-educated, English-speaking Tadatoshi Akiba, confesses that he is consumed at the moment with efforts to build a new baseball stadium for the city’s baseball team, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. But the Bomb is the backdrop for everything that has been built here in the past six decades, from stadiums to automobile factories to shipyards. A city wiped off the map had to be rebuilt in every sense—not just physically but emotionally and psychologically was well.

occupation government
, after repeated pleas from Hiroshima, finally agreed to a special, national subsidy for the city— as long as it provided a reasonable reconstruction plan. Hiroshima International University urban-planning professor Norioki Ishimaru says parliamentarians from Hiroshima were smart enough to know that their request could not come "with an accusing tone," lest they be turned down by General Douglas Mac-Arthur’s occupation headquarters in Tokyo.
Hiroshima officials struck on the idea of reinventing the city. They proposed the construction of a large peace memorial as the city’s new anchor. The memorial eventually became the Peace Memorial Park, a graceful 12-hectare site not far from ground zero, designed by the
late
famed Japanese architect Kenzo Tange and completed in 1954. The park’s emotional centerpiece became the Peace Memorial Museum, dedicated to recalling the horror of nuclear war. Over the next two years, the occupation government gave Hiroshima the extra aid, which helped the city begin to recover—both psychologically and economically. Akiba. the current mayor, says this was one of the critical turning-point in Hiroshima’s recovery. The assistance created jobs and provided the city with an emotional core, something meaningful to build a future upon. (411 words)
