Abstract

Urban wars
popular uprisings, resistance movements as well as terrorists grow in urban environment, and their potentials and talent are strengthened in streets and alleys, and superior technology fails to counteract them because the forces who seek to combat such irregular and guerrilla wars in cities find that timely access to accurate information is difficult and that conventional military tactics are ineffective in chasing games in the heart of cities.
Revolutionary uprisings
People's wars, as described by Mao, Che Guevara and General Giap, are mass rebellions that start in rural areas and ultimately find their way into the city. Urban rebellions that have a different style start in cities where most people live, and if successful, they will come to a faster conclusion.
