If you have any data, that would be great. As far as I know, the research shows that dense cities are far more efficient per person than less-dense suburbs and rural areas. Many more people share resources, there is economy of scale, and because of the density people use much less road to get to the store, work, and dinner - often none at all if they walk or take the train.

If you extend that for a whole city it's clear that current research just see one aspect, instead of a TCO. It's like "rails are the most efficient ground transport" and that's true, if we count just a single journey an an already made network. Things dramatically changes if we count how much we need to develop and keep up rails, stations, intermodal exchanges and how much we need to change them. It's hard to compute of course, but it's easy to size a bit.
