In the South African context, "urban" -or "urb" - refers both to culture in cities and anything that is "cool". There is a continual migration from rural areas to urban areas because social, economic and cultural aspirations can be actualized in urban areas.

Equal to ghetto in that they're both city-like, opposite of ghetto in that urban has a positive image.

Urbanized is the effect that takes place when during an argument you cleverly use slang from Urban Dictionary to shut the other person down and make their proper and nerdy sounding argument look bland boring and stupid in comparison to the verbal bitch slap you just delivered to them via Urban Dictionaries superior body of language
You should have seen the look on mikes face yesterday at work when he was trying to enplane why he was late for work only to be shocked when the boss urbanized his ass in about 15 seconds flat. Mike apparently did not realize the boss has internet and knows how to find the Urban Dictionary.
