Actually, it's probably easier to be alone in a city, depending on your definition of what being alone means. It's in the small towns where you can't take a walk without being harassed by one of your obnoxious neighbors because everyone knows everybody else. In a large city, you do not know most of its inhabitants and most inhabitants don't know you, and everyone minds their own business. And unlike rural areas, you've still got the social presence without the unwanted social engagement.

But still, in a denser place there's a ton more non-human factors (like advertising) battling to inject themselves into your attention.
