Of course my experience is just anecdotical but I lived in a a small village in the countryside (350 inhabitants if you count the cows) until I was 17. I find that since living in big cities, I have more energy, I'm much more upbeat and much less depressed. In the morning, I love walking or biking through busy streets looking at everyone move around.. I feel that it's invigorating... Right now I'm back in the countryside in malaysia and I clearly don't have as much energy as I had before... Now, the cities I've liked the most and for which this was the most true are rennes and kyoto which are both cities with quite a bit of nature (and hardly any sky scraper). And when I lived in shanghai (which I really liked), I lived right at the back of Zhong Shang gong yuan so I could see the nature everyday when I went to work...
