Savannah is urban in the sense that it is somewhat of a planned city. More walkable than Atlanta. Actually, most cities are more walkable than Atlanta. Savannah is what you would call old urban. The same with New Orleans Charleston, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Middle urban would be cities like Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, San Francisco, St. Louis, Cleveland, Omaha. New urban would be Seattle, Portland, Denver, Galveston, etc.
Chicago's a "middle" urban city???????
How is it possibly a middle urban city? I honestly would like to see an explanation from this.

I would also like an explanation...no offense to the great cities of Cleveland and Omaha, but Pittsburgh's urbanization is at least a level above these cities.
Here's some st. louis pics for all you doubters (i think this goes for cities like pittsburg, detroit, cleveland, and Bmore as well that are often overlooked in the "urban" scene) These cities like st. louis have history and culture and were the reason why america is what it is today:
Front skyline: (illusion because its a north to south view, when the city runs east to west)
Behind the "downtown" view, clayton looking towards downtown, not including clayton (actually a 10 mile stretch is what youre looking at to give a perspective on size):
Clayton:
midtown
central west end

Completely incorrect. Philadelphia is easily in the top 10 ten cities in the U.S. for density at 10,882.8 people/sq. mile. The 4,201 figure is people/sq. KILOMETER. Huge difference:
I think you have to say a bit more to crack the top ten...at least from what I've seen, you still have: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Washington DC, Pittsburgh and New Orleans in front of you!
But, I do think Cincinnati deserves to be in the top 10.
For me, to be truly urban there has to be some grittiness. New York, Chicago,
Boston, Detroit, Philly, etc. Imho, there are no "real" urban centers below the Mason Dixon line, or west of the Mississippi. But that's just my narrow view.

Now Baltimore is a truly beautiful urban city below the Mason-Dixon line:

Baltimore is one of my favorite food cities. I'm all about seafood.
