As for "urbanistic," which means "relating to urbanism," which, in turn, has three different dictionary definitions - the meaning of "urbanistic" is not self-evident, has been debated, and here would sound just plain weird.

: Even if "urbanistic" were right (see comment, under my entry), I don't see the use of offering poorly written, different-context (historical), likely non-native sentences from the Internet as "examples" for a professional translation. No offense intended.

urban development unit
| neutral |
Rachel Douglas
: I balked at "unit" cuz it often means a dept of an agency dealing w urban development-"a bank's urban development unit"/Me, too, but "ensemble" is well assimilated in Eng as "a system of items constituting an organic unity", so no allergic reaction to it.

Fair enough. I tend to try to avoid usign a French word in English to translate every French word used in Russian though, if you see what I mean. But of course it depends partly on other translation choices in the text.
