Does the phrase have any meaning for you?
Do you read books that could be described by that term?

Apparently it's now more commonly thought of as modern city setting with supernatural aspects (vampires, werewolves etc) and romance.
I haven't read The Dresden Files but from what I know about it it seems to fall within umbrella as currently defined.
In the end though it's just a marketing label.

Unlike the poll, I do not think that The Dresden Files is urban fantasy.

I've read just the one book by de Lint, and thought it was great.
