Urbanastinating

Addictively wasting hours on Urban Dictionary when you have very important, urgent work to do, even though the mental hiatus could result in suspension, contract termination, social expulsion or in some cases death.

(verb) Urbanastinate.
Ryan: "Check out this new word I found on Urban Dictionary last night"
Andrew: "No ways man. Last time I was caught Urbanastinating in my cubicle I was given a final warning"
Ryan: "Dude, thats why I always urbanastinate in the privacy of my own room"

Sophisticated Urbanite

Someone who is urban and cityish but still sophisticated with impecable taste. And no one ever questions their fashion choices. They envy their amazing use of slang and wide range of vocabulary. They are personable and people want to talk to them. You can only be designated this term.
Britney: "Look at Grayce. Her outfit is amazing. Edgy, but stylish."

Katie:"I know, she's such a sophisticated urbanite."

New Urbanism

New urbanist villages contain shopping centers and community centers. Many people may work in the city, but there are job opportunites within the village. Also, not all new urbanism developemnents are built in the suburbs, many redevelopment projects are built in the downtown section of cities as well.

urbanite

A person who inhabits one of the major cities in the world, aged between 17 and 44. An urbanite is an affluent consumer with an optimistic outlook on life that is very different from those who live in "small town" or rural areas.

Urbanites are both a subculture and a contemporary lifestyle. They have 6 key characteristics: Time-poor, city-proud, media-literate, brand-centric, trend-sensitive and culturally-aware.

The British newspaper Metro has listed the 10 "Great expectations" that above all else motivate and drive Urbanites:

01. Expecting to live a meaningful and experience-rich urban life.
02. Expecting to succeed in multiple areas of life (not just career).
03. Expecting to get substantial fulfilment from work (not just cash).
04. Expecting to be at the hub of a large friendship network.
05. Expecting the traditional ideal of "true love" in the modern world.
06. Expecting to have to "make time" in order to have and enjoy time.
07. Expecting to use debt to have what they want, and have it now.
08. Expecting to have a progressive government that delivers results.
09. Expecting to live in a pleasant "urban village" area of their city.
10. Expecting to live a responsible life as an urban consumer.
I like him: He enjoys living in the city so much, his clothes are always nice, keeps up with popular culture, is always organising events and going to cool places and is very socially conscious though he always complains he doesn't have enough time... He's a total urbanite!
