'a prosperous area' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'former lover seen with pope' is the wordplay.
'former lover' becomes 'ex' (an ex-lover).
'seen with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pope' becomes 'urban' (there have been several Pope Urbans).
'ex'+'urban'='EXURBAN'

'from' acts as a link.
