urban dweller
Metropolitan area inhabitant
An urban dweller is someone who lives in a city or densely populated area, as opposed to rural or suburban regions.
The term appears in demographic discussions, urban planning, and sociology: Urban dwellers face higher costs of living but greater access to public transit.
City dweller means the same thing.
