N2  - This intervention explores the paradox that although the Bush administration has repeatedly stressed the purported insecurity of U.S. urbanites to "terroristic" threats since 9/11, it has simultaneously undermined the preparedness and resilience of U.S. cities in the face of catastrophic weather and seismic events. Arguing that Katrina needs to be seen as an event that unerringly exposes the politics of urban security in post-9/11 U.S. cities, the piece explores the relationships between neoconservative, antiurban ideology; the "homeland security" drive; and climate change, catastrophic weather events, and oil geopolitics.<p />
