rural

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'getting new start picture on wall' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'away from city' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'away' could be 'a' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'city' could be 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state) and 'ur' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Countrylike" , "Countrified" , "Relating to country life" , "outside the city?" , "Relating to the countryside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
