city culture
Urban social character
City culture encompasses the distinctive patterns of life, arts, attitudes, and social behaviors that emerge in urban environments.
It includes everything from street art and nightlife to public transit etiquette and the particular energy of crowds.
City culture often implies sophistication, diversity, and fast pace—qualities associated with metropolitan life: She missed the city culture after moving to a small town.
The term can also describe a specific city's character: Berlin's city culture revolves around techno and late nights.
