Urban Culture

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Urban culture is the culture of towns and cities. All over the world, past and present, these settlements have behaviors and cultural elements that separate them from otherwise comparable rural areas. In the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada "urban" is often used as a euphemism to describe modern culture of inner city life. Typically, it contains street dancing or break dancing, hip hop music or rapping, house or techno music, turntablism, or other activities developed in inner-cities and made popular through commercialization. Hence names for cultural artifacts like urban music could be seen as a new term for "Race music". It can also refer to the greater availability of cultural resources (such as art, theatre, events, etc) as compared to suburban or rural areas.
