cowpat flat

Does the following context mean "Munster city with its concentric plan, its moors that are full of cowpat, and also its university population is more a cycle-city than a car-city"?

Context:

As it happens, being conceived and contained concentrically, being also cowpat flat, and boasting a dense university population, Munster is first and foremost cycle-city.
