urbs

Everything inside was urbs, city space consecrated by priests who interpreted the will of the gods; everything outside was ager — unhallowed open territory.

We live in a city that is famously, as the motto says, an “Urbs in Horto” - a City in a Garden.

The Voice championed “the revolt of the urbs,” giving a name to a new constituency whose passions were those of the paper.

The fact that bright young singletons gravitate toward coastal urbs right now doesn’t mean that you couldn’t attract talent — especially married-with-kids talent — to a heartland city whose Amazon District took advantage of sprawling housing stock left over from a prosperous past.

The PA supplies news stories to media outlets all over the UK and Ireland, and will be working with a startup named Urbs Media to produce 30,000 local stories a month with the help of AI.
