urban traditions
Metropolitan cultural practices
Cultural practices, customs, and rituals that develop within city environments and get passed down through generations of residents.
These might include neighborhood festivals, local food traditions, street art conventions, or community gatherings specific to a particular city or urban area: The block party is one of our oldest urban traditions.
Unlike rural or folk traditions rooted in agricultural cycles, urban traditions often emerge from the mixing of immigrant cultures, working-class communities, and the rhythms of city life.
