is it important how to place your defence thingies?

I saw some hoods placing their guard towers as a bunch. I'd like to know if its important how to place them? Can I place them on a certain place all together or should I have a guard tower or turret next or in front of my important buildings?

It doesn't matter where you put them.

Some players feel that obscuring building levels provides a minor advantage. Guard Towers are decent at blocking numbers due to their height, but the bottom 75% is nearly transparent.
