Lots of discussion around this if you look around, this is the first I found that wasn't a news publication: https://news.berkeley.edu/2014/01/06/suburban-sprawl-cancels...

Logically, it makes sense: while you need to get a lot of things into the city, you can do that at scale in ways that are efficient (like trains, boats, etc..).

Also, if you live in a city, you're probably taking up much less of a footprint. Individual houses are really inefficient. Nevermind driving everywhere! :)
