YES Our measure of time is set principally by the social cadence of activity around us. If that pace is out of whack with what our natural processes can absorb (intellectually & emotionally), then we naturally feel stress & anxiety - even if nothing bad is happening.

Big cities have manifest physical infrastructure that supports and reinforces this pace. A "New York Minute" is a materially different thing than a Birmingham Minute. Which is why environment is a chaos agent while the other is always laggard.
