Partially backing bonsai pot business - it gives urban sorts a taste of country life (8)
I believe the answer is:
subtopia
'it gives urban sorts a taste of country life' is the definition.
(term for a suburban development)
'partially backing bonsai pot business' is the wordplay.
'backing' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'partially' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'aipotbus' is hidden within 'bonsai pot business'.
'aipotbus' backwards is 'SUBTOPIA'.
(Other definitions for subtopia that I've seen before include "what gives townies a taste of rural life" , "where commuters live" , "urban sprawl" , "Expansion of town into countryside" .)
