City of course. I like City. I love City
Rural when you get older 
+1little more and return to rural
I think until he is six you can stay on Rural area. After six I think it would be better to shift on city area.
I prefer Rural
It really depends. Personally, I prefer a rural lifestyle. I live in a rather small "town" of ~8000 people. It's actually the largest town for 30+ miles.
Normally, rural areas have lower crime rates. Cities tend to be more dangerous for children as well. Living in a larger city will create a more diverse environment for your child. For example, the demographics where I live are astounding. Over 95% of the population identify as being white. We have literally 13-15 black people in our entire town. That's it. (I believe it's only 4 families). During highschool, we had a single black kid in the ENTIRE highschool. Literally, just one.
But it really does depend on the area, I suppose.

Born in city,now living rural
City is where I go given the chance.. 
Growing up in the city is much better. Your kid will learn street smarts.
I prefer rural, Living in nature is a great experience for me.
City life is great you can raise your kid up tough and smart.
I prefer city, much more things to do, more fun
Rural when you get older
To the age of 10 you can spend at rural area and after that city area.
First I prefer in rural area in childhood.
But you can send him city for make career and education.

Wherever you can effectively defend your kid.
I prefer to live in Rural area
I say city,and if you have money you can buy a small house on country side and spend the weekends and holidays there.This is how i do, the only difference is that my wife's parents own a house on the country....so my kid spends all his summer holidays there.
They both provide different opportunities.
Rural
Pros:
Fresh air
Lots of space to move around in
A relaxing atmousphere
Cons:
Solitude is only nice until it starts to drive you mad.
The fact that there's so much space means that there are less people to chum around with.
City
Pros:
Lots of people and various cultural opportunities
Cons:
Not much space to move around in
Smog ridden
Fights break out from the vast differences in all of the types of people there
Gangs might be an issue
The city doesn't look that pleasant to some people
Then there's the third option.
Suburbs
Best of both worlds without the cons of either of them.
My choice would have to be the suburbs.

I like Rural more than city;)
I prefer Rural
I like to live in a rural area but it also must be near the city. We need to enjoy the advantages of the two areas.
Rural is a dream, so bucolic, the cows, the fresh air... But, isn't it too limiting? I mean, in a city there are far more, and far better, opportunities: best schools, various courses, activities, leisure, cultural, etc. So much to live, so much to learn.
What great things your kid can learn by living in a rural area? Lot's of great things, sure. But it would take a couple of holidays to learn and to know "everything" useful from a rural environment.
So, I'd prefer living in a big city, and spending holidays on rural areas.
This, too, is important.

I am a new father and thinking.... Where should I raise my kid. In a rural area where he can breathe fresh air, play with rural kids or in a city like Sydney (I currently live here).
If you want to move to the country or small town do your homework carefully. A good area or town can be very close to a dysfunctional one. If you move to a rural area be ready to be looked at as an "outsider." The availability of phone service or internet can be spotty ,slow or expensive. Build a nice house and someone can buy the land next to you and move in a crappy old trailer. It can be a long drive to work unless you work from home or are retired. I have experienced or know folks who experienced all these things. 
I think that it's a good idea to raise the children in the country or in a small town but not far from city.
I like to live in rural area overlooking into the sea.
I prefer to live in Rural area, away from noise and crowded city. Living with nature will make you a strong man.
I think rural is nice and its best to get your kid to experience rural living now cos maybe by the time he grows up...city living might have taken over at the rate the world is 'progressing'
I prefer a rural environment, maybe not too far from the city.
