Like a city area with less than four banks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urban

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a city area with less than four banks' is the wordplay.
'URBAN' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for urban that I've seen before include "Had this description of town" , "Of or about city areas" , "Civic" , "Living in a city" , "Living in a town" .)
