Morphology

urbiculture = urban + culture (semi-transparent) = urb + culture

The parts 'urban' + 'culture' are recognizable, but the sense 'cultivation or development of civic character' relies on -culture meaning 'cultivation' or a metaphorical extension that learners may not immediately infer.

Etymology

Urbiculture combines urb- meaning 'city' and culture meaning 'people\'s way of life', so think of it as growing the social life and arts of a city. That's why urbiculture means the development of city culture and community feeling.
