The proper terminology is “indigenous urban peoples.”

Indigenous? They're transplants and that's key in their behavior.

They aren't "naturally" from there geographically, nor in urban environments. City residents adapted over the thousands of years it took for cities to develop. Cities have been devolving into ruins for decades as the city dwellers left and rural transplants fail at adapting.

“Indigenous? They’re transplants and that’s key in their behavior. “

A “shock-jock” radio guy I used to listen to in DC back in the 80-90s, “The Greaseman,” used the term “I.P.s” which stood for “Indigenous Population,” when referring to “the locals.” It’s an adaptation of what they used to say in old “Jungle Movies” such as Tarzan, etc., “the natives are restless.”
