There might be one solution for you: an underground escape route!
If it is possible for you to have access to an urban sewer system through larger culverts

All it takes is a bit of curiosity and some spare time to scope one out and see where it leads.

There are also many historical underground mappings of major urban areas, such as in London, where many of these pathways might still exist.
An urban, underground escape route might prove to be an interesting thing to research, in fact the notion of finding hidden urban vanishing points is so interesting to some that there are whole networks of people devoted to urban exploration:
