urbiculous

When something is so overly urban (a.k.a. ghetto) that it is at the point of being rediculous.
Did you see that bitch's outfit? She looks urbiculous!

That ho's hoops are so big and her weave is so nappy...that's urbiculous.
urbiculous by hs&js November 3, 2005
The growing trend in the urban utility vehicle movement and preferred mode of transportation of the trendy hipster. Adorned with a handy man jack, shovel and axe, none of which fit soft millennial hands. The urbicon ultra will sport the ballsy poser snorkel.
we went rock crawling down 5th Avenue in Masons urbicon, everyone was in awe of the power snorkel.

Violence not aimed at human bodies but against the city fabric
Wikipedia on "Urbicide" excerpt:

In the wake of the destruction of Sarajevo, the term gained more common usage, examples being found in the works of Marshall Berman (1987) and Bogdan Bogdanović. In their 1992 publication "Mostar '92", a group of Bosnian architects from Mostar used the term urbicide to define the violence against the city fabric, such as the destruction of the Mostar bridge, a usage consistent with Marshall Berman's prior use of the term to describe similar acts of violence in Bosnia. Urbicide is increasingly being used by architects, urban planners, scholars and historians to help describe and understand the contemporary and historic wars where cities can no longer be considered safe havens from war, but rather are part of the battle field.
