URBAN. Relating to a city; but in a more general sense it signifies relating 
to houses.

articles 706 and 707. All servitudes are established either for the use of 
houses or for the use of lands. Those of the first kind are called urban 
servitudes, whether the buildings to which they are due be situated in the 
city or in the country. Those of the second kind are called rural 
servitudes. 
     3. The principal kinds of urban servitudes are the following: the right 
of support; that of drip; that of drain, or of preventing the drain, that of 
view or of lights, or of preventing the view or lights from being 
obstructed: that of raising buildings or walls, or of preventing them from 
being raised that of passage and that of drawing water. Vide 3 Toull. p.
