Urban fantasy is a subgenre of contemporary fantasy that features magical elements in an urban setting. Urban fantasy differs from traditional fantasy works in that it is set in the contemporary world, rather than an imagined one and often in a well known urban center. Such works often use the city environment to enhance its plots and themes.
