And now for something completely different (or is it?):
(from Dictionary.com)

Ur
pref.
Original; prototypical: ur-feminist; ur-language.

[From German ur-, original. See Ursprache:

pro·to·lan·guage
n.
A language that is the recorded or hypothetical ancestor of another language or group of languages. Also called Ursprache.




This website and project, called Urville is the creation of a young man suffering from the Syndrome of Asperger, passionate about urban landscaping. He claims he called it Urville due to an historical figure and thus it has nothing to do with the idea of an Ur-city, a prototypical, archetypal, city - this was my idea, and yes, I'm showing off, but the credit should go to him. Kudos!
