urbanites
People in cities
Urbanites are city dwellers—people who live in urban areas rather than rural or suburban ones.
The term often carries connotations of sophistication, cultural engagement, or cosmopolitan lifestyle: Young urbanites flocked to the neighborhood's new restaurants and galleries.
It can also imply a disconnect from rural life or nature.
