So what exactly is urban photography and how is it different from street photography?
Instead of documenting the street life and trying to snap interesting images of people and their interactions, urban photographers concentrate on their surroundings. The scene becomes the main subject, while the once in a while occurring people are only there to emphasise it.
This approach gives a great amount of freedom to the photographer, who becomes free to roam around the streets anonymously and create something new from very mundane subjects like scraped walls, puddles, discarded cartons, etc
