You can't get more urban than where I live. A combination of decent, but not great, infrastructure of pathways and bike lanes, a good rear view mirror, a real effort to be utterly predictable, and a good spidey sense seems to work for me. That, and knowing getting there is more important than getting there fast...so when in doubt, I behave very conservatively and will even dismount at a crossing if it seems risky. Of course, being on 16" wheels lets me pop off and on super quickly with very little effort so that does help. So far, so good....
