Discusses urban terror - its meaning, its ramifications, and its impact on city life. This work explains what kinds of cities have become prime targets, why terrorism has become lethal, and how its inspiration has changed from secular to religious. It also includes a discussion of local resilience, and suggests how that can be sustained.
