Historically, the defender in an urban environment has enjoyed a significant advantage. This is because the attacker must expose himself to move forward. The urban environment is very complex with limited lines of sight, lots of cover and concealment, and often multiple levels for the defenders to base their fire. The attackers' goal is to bypass strong points wherever possible. This is not always possible.
