'city-living' originates from the combination of 'city,' derived from Latin 'civitas,' meaning 'citizenship or community,' and 'living,' from Old English 'libban,' meaning 'to live.'

'city-living' evolved from the concept of 'urban life' as cities became more central to economic and cultural activities.

Initially, it referred to the act of residing in a city, but now it encompasses the broader lifestyle and experiences associated with urban areas.
