Summary/Abstract: The author shows that one of the direct results of global terrorism is undoubtedly the militarisation of urban space. It is emphasised the fact that not only topographic conditions are important in locating military objectives today, but also a combination of physical and cybernetic elements required for military interoperability. The urbanisation of warfare is a concept that is redefined in terms of forms of violence and effects on the citizen. Urban vulnerabilities are identified both in poor and degraded settlements and in highly technological cities such as smart cities. The author concludes that there will be no sustainable urbanisation without a new form of spatial planning, taking into account aspects such as environment, urban violence, poverty, migration as well as new technologies.
