Urbanite is a word used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to describe a demographic of people who, like yuppies, are young, urban professionals, but unlike yuppies, are socially conscious. This group of people has been called the yuppies of the 21st Century. Their social conscience has been attributed to their living through the "caring, sharing" 90s, while in other ways they may be products of the "greedy, selfish" 80s.
Urbanites can be seen as the very opposite of the lower class group identified as "Chavs". Urbanites are young, like Chavs, but unlike Chavs, they are educated, upmarket and highly aspirational.
An alternate definition of Urbanite in the United States is a humorous description of recycled concrete, typically from old sidewalks or other flat concrete slabs removed during construction. This derives from names of rock types -- see the number of rock types ending in the 'ite' suffix at List of rocks.
