The civilian casualties in Dresden, Germany, during the Allied bombing in February 1945 are estimated to be between 25,000 and 35,000, while the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 resulted in an estimated 140,000 and 74,000 deaths, respectively, by the end of that year. While Dresden's toll was significant, the immediate and long-term effects of the atomic bombs caused far greater destruction and loss of life. Additionally, the context of these bombings differs; Dresden was targeted as part of conventional warfare, whereas Hiroshima and Nagasaki were specific targets for nuclear warfare, marking a pivotal moment in military history.
Yes, in fact they are both large, thriving cities. Nuclear airbursts like Hiroshima and Nagasaki do not have as much long-lasting radiation as ground or ocean bursts.

Assuming you mean the ones in World War II, it was a long and complex chain of events that essentially started on December 7, 1941.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki,[1] with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day.Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki,[1] with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day.

Nagasaki would be contaminated for about 703.8 Million years as that is the half life for Uranium 235. Hiroshima would be contaminated for 24,100 years as that is the half life for Plutonium 239.

The Hiroshima atomic bomb caused significant soil contamination with radioactive materials like cesium-137 and strontium-90. This contamination had long-lasting effects on soil health and fertility and posed serious risks to human health and the environment. Reclamation and decontamination efforts have been ongoing to mitigate these effects.
