Want to put mark on urban development (8)
I believe the answer is:
scarcity
'want' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'mark on urban development' is the wordplay.
'mark' becomes 'scar' (mark left by an injury).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'urban development' becomes 'city' (I've seen this before).
'scar'+'city'='SCARCITY'
'to put' is the link.
(Other definitions for scarcity that I've seen before include "Lack - dearth" , "Something uncommon" , "Want" , "Shortness of supply" , "Poverty" .)
