In Urbis, things are fairly safe for the "average joe" in most places. Of course, that doesn't mean that it will be healthy - the hordes of workers in the cities labor under fairly harsh conditions for long hours and low pay. This results in all sorts of ailments even at early ages, and often a reduced life expectancy.
But that doesn't mean he is likely to die of an attack by Random Monsters unless he lives in a really poor region the city guard doesn't bother with. Employed workers still represent a useful resource, and those in power don't want to waste resources.
Of course, adventurers still are able to find trouble in all sorts of ways... and there are monsters lurking in the city which know how to hide from the authorities.
But most of the predators are human.
