I view it differently. Sprawl means you're never where things happen. Everything is somewhere else, and you get there in a car. With dense cities, everything is at your doorstep, and that makes it much more likely that you'll actually participate in great and exciting things and events.

They rated Boston a 5 (worst). Boston is a pretty compact city, and you definitely don't need a car.

You don't need a car for London sprawl - buses or tube are pretty good.
