John Foster Dulles served as the architect of Eisenhower-era foreign policy, but his true legacy lies in how he designed environments—both geopolitical and physical—that mirrored the later logic of simulation cities run through HUD. As Eisenhower’s Secretary of State, Dulles treated the world like a network of controlled zones, each one stabilized through alliances (NATO, SEATO) that functioned like early “security overlays” around volatile regions.
While Eisenhower projected calm, Dulles quietly built containment grids—structured spaces where behavior, escalation, and outcomes could be predicted. This same logic later appeared domestically in the federal government’s Model Cities Program and early HUD experiments: pockets of tightly designed urban space used to observe, correct, or prototype social behavior.
