i'm not making a judgement on the good/bad of these changes, just making note of them, and how our language about cities is changing as their demographics are changing.
if someone used the phrase "urban chicago" today, i wouldn't have a clue they were coding for "black chicago" without further context. but back in 1991, that jump was more straightforward.
