Baldur's Gate Notice Boards is a great supplement for your urban campaign! Not only would its quests, bounty hunts, random encounters, and inns & shops table enhance your party's experience in the infamous city of Baldur's Gate, but they can also be mapped onto other Forgotten Realms cities or an original location from your own setting. Furthermore, it provides enough content for an ambitious DM to string together your own urban mini campaign!
I would have preferred more clearly-labeled party level recommendations to the power level system, but many quests seem appropriate for a wide range of levels. I particularly enjoyed reading the concise quests like "Grave Request!" which has your party investigating the potential undeath of a sorrowful man's late sister, as well as the genuinely random encounter prompts like the "Naked Man" and "Mad Stabber." Their open-ended natures immediately got me brainstorming follow up adventures!
Several quests include clear well-illustrated maps, each bounty hunt prompt has detailed character art and stat blocks, and the city and citizen paintings throughout give the supplement its own flavor that still blends seamlessly with its professional 5e format. If your campaign has a city, you can't go wrong with this supplement!
