Yank noticed start of recent trouble in urban shopping area (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
town centre
'yank noticed start of recent trouble' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'urban shopping area' is the wordplay.
'urban shopping' becomes 'town' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'area' becomes 'centre' (centre is a kind of area).
'town'+'centre'='TOWN CENTRE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for town centre that I've seen before include "Community hub" , "Urban heart" .)
