urban strategy
Dear friends,
(re: Listening to music lets you look at someone but don’t look at them when they look back. The earplugs tell them you’re otherwise engaged. It’s a great urban strategy for controlling interaction.)
What does "urban strategy" mean? Is it a set phrase?
Thank you very much.

Not a set phrase. It means it's a good technique to use in a city.

It means that bums are less likely to approach you looking for a handout if they see you've got the earplugs on. Wearing the earplugs is a strategy (method) for avoiding this urban (city) problem.
