Ie not fantasy accidentally set in a city, but one in which the fantasy changes the city somehow. But I also think of it as involving some sort of grittiness, I don't know why. It needs to be a modern city. Then again, I haven't read anything that has been placed under that heading, so I wouldn't know.

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.
