Urbanity (Bishop of Rome. Urbane has a similar meaning; Oxford English Dictionary notes that the relationship of urbane to urban is similar to the relationship humane bears to human.
In language, urbanity still connotes a smooth and literate style, free of
barbarisms and other infelicities. In antiquity, schools of rhetoric
flourished only in the atmosphere of large cities, to which privileged students flocked from smaller cities in order to gain polish.
