The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Population density and urban air quality (2021, background): “Some papers have looked at household energy consumption and mostly found residents of denser cities consume less energy per capita (Glaeser and Kahn, 2010; Blaudin de Thé et al., 2018).”
Strawberry fields forever? Urban agriculture in developed countries: a review (2013, background): “It has been argued that urban agriculture could, in some circumstances, lead to a substantial net increase in carbon emissions through (1) growing plants locally but in less favorable environments that require additional energy and fertilizer inputs; (2) reducing population density and, thus, necess”
Ecological efficiency assessment under the construction of low-carbon city: a perspective of green technology innovation (2021, methodology): “Drawing on Glaeser and Kahn (2010) and Li et al. (2013), energy input is obtained by summing the electricity, gas and liquefied petroleum gas, heat energy and transportation energy consumption used by each city.”
The economic effects of density: A synthesis (2019, positive): “This is in line with Glaeser & Sacerdote (1999). Therefore, we consider the recommended elasticity to be suitable for non-US countries exclusively.”
The statistical physics of cities (2019, result): “This result stands in contrast with earlier work showing the opposite [89], in which the CO2 emitted by cars was estimated using the distance traveled by commuters.”
