It's definitely a vibes thing. I haven't read the Dresden Files, but I know they're widely considered urban fantasy. I've read enough about the world to see why that is said, but without reading the actual books to get the vibes it is hard to say. I know a lot of people see the two as the same, but in my mind they are very distinctly different genres with clear differences, even if those differences can't always to be perfectly conveyed. A lot will say magic exist, thus its urban fantasy, but it is really a matter of how it exists, what the story does with it, how it fits in the world and what presentation it has. Because magic can still just be supernatural, more needs to exist to be urban fantasy than just magic. And it may be that without know the world building for your story I'll never know beyond a vibes. It is interesting nonetheless.
