town-dweller
Municipal area inhabitant
A town-dweller is someone who lives in a town, as distinct from those who live in rural areas or large cities.
The term emphasizes residence rather than origin, describing where a person makes their home rather than where they were born.
It appears most often in contexts contrasting urban and rural lifestyles or in historical discussions of population distribution.
Town-dwellers have different concerns than farmers when it comes to land use policy.
