provincial 

describing people who only care about eating, sleeping, making money, and owning crap. Very unimaginative, uncultured people with no concept of the arts, history, language, faith, travel, or why any those things should be valued. Has not visited a library or museum since the 7th grade. Doesn't know the name of a bluebird (really). Like Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins, they "can't see past the end of their nose".

Urban Provincial 

People who live in a major city (Manhattan or Los Angeles for example) who don't understand the way of life of anyone who doesn't live in a city.

Many times they are well educated and intelligent but so sheltered by only living in urban areas and dealing with others like them that they are limited in perspective and narrow minded.
An urban provincial person is someone you speak to who seriously can't understand why anyone would shop at Costco. They also think Sarah Palin is unintelligent because she has an accent
