Urban: Belonging to a big city, usually related to the 'subculture' of a big city.
Ie, urban legends.
Similarly suburban is used to describe someone who's out of the 'pulse' and possibly ignorant of progress and fads.

Urban mean it relates to a town or city. Comes from Latin: Urbs = city.
In some phrases - like Urban Myth - it just means commonplace.

Some rich people use the word urban to refer to the ghetto when they are making strained efforts not to be offensive. However, they end up looking foolish.
