I am a city buff so I was wondering what some common urban expressions are, such as:
シテイボーイ city boy?
とし city/village?
としん city center?

What would be the equivalent to a word such as 'urbanite' or something?

シティボーイ = city boy
都市 （とし） = large city (not just a small city or village)
都心 （としん） = center of a large city
都会人 （とかいじん） = urbanite
