The City of David, with its rich history, is the setting for one of the earliest recorded episodes of underground warfare. This historical fact is discussed in detail in an episode of the Urban Warfare Project Podcast, hosted by John Spencer. In this episode, Spencer is joined by Ze'ev Orenstein, the director of international affairs at the City of David Foundation.

The City of David Foundation is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to preserving the history and physical environs of ancient Jerusalem. The foundation, which was founded by Yigal Shiloh, has played a crucial role in the rediscovery and ongoing preservation of the City of David.

The development of the City of David has been shaped by a variety of forces, including urban planning and urban and underground warfare. The lessons gathered from ancient stories and archaeological evidence found since the City of David's discovery have important implications for modern urban operations.
