What Kind Of Urbanist Is Bob Dylan?

Never mind whether Bob Dylan’s lyrics qualify as Nobel-worthy literature. Here’s the real question: Is he an urbanist?
A lot of the urbanist internet sure thinks so. In its subterranean realms you’ll find maps of Bob Dylan’s New York, a list by CityLab alum Eric Jaffe on Dylan’s best songs about infrastructure, and an English paper about his quality as an urban poet.
