The word you're looking for is "dwellers" -- "village dwellers," "city dwellers."

In the US, the phrase "village people" has an unfortunate collision with Village People, a musical group. ("Village" refers to
the New York City neighborhood, Greenwich Village.)

"Countryside people" is almost non-existent.
