Providence Sprawls Least, Colorado Springs Sprawls Less than Portland
Providence Nation's Least Sprawling Metro Area
Colorado Springs Sprawls Less than Portland
When the Smart Growth America sprawl index is adjusted for genuine metropolitan areas rather than sub-metropolitan areas (which in NewYork exclude neighborhoods from which westside Manhattan apartments can be seen), a much different picture emerges. New York falls below Providence, which has the highest sprawl index, or least sprawl of any genuine metropolitan area. New York also drops below Omaha, with its Calcutta-like squatter settlements. Nirvana (Portland) falls below Colorado Springs, whose model urbanization jumps out at any who have ever been there.
