city dweller
Lives among skyscrapers
A city dweller is someone who lives in a city rather than in rural or suburban areas.
The term emphasizes urban residence as a defining characteristic, often contrasting with country dwellers or rural folk: City dwellers tend to walk more than their suburban counterparts.
The compound sometimes carries connotations of sophistication or unfamiliarity with rural life.
