Yes, and it does. I live at the edge of Bucharest, next to a lake, so no protection from the Northern winds. In the city, there are always 5 degrees Celsius more than I have here, despite a distance of only 5-6 km to the city center. Winter or summer, it is the same, a few more degrees in the city. But the city is polluted and there are not enough parks and it has the most intense traffic in Europe, so I wouldn't like to live in the middle of it. Plus, the cost of a house in the city would also be prohibitive.
