It's not really anything about urban areas. Just that wild strains haven't been specifically selected for the combination of chemicals we like. Of course, if you find a strain you like, it's not really going to be that hard to cultivate, a brewery that doesn't make special effort to avoid it should rapidly wind up developing its own local strain anyway.
