There are few good example that I recall

The Defense of Moscow from the Germans
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Siege of Bastogne
Burning of Washington in 1814 - what not to do
Modern Day FOB's in Afghanstian and Iraq

You basicly will have a few options

1. Physical barriers, Road Blocks, Anti Tank Ditches, Bunkers, Watch Towers, walls, trenches and sharp sticks.

2. Mines and Weapon System, Mines are great to proctect a city and cheap and easy to make, also having weapon systems (AT weapons, MG) in place around possible attack points too - think about medieval castles, also modern armies will have artillery too which also be placed a key to provide support to any defence

3. Patrols, patrols are conduct in two area one, close to the city around the walls defensive line ect, and way from the city to provide advance warning of an attack.

5. Obervation - Military units will typically have a obervation posts placed out, they are away from the defensive line to provide warning of an attack

6. Mobile Reserve - This a group of soliders of platoon up too a battlion size which would located right in the city, thier job would be to quickly reinforce a section of the city which comes under attack.

Hope this helps
