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

Estimating the Effect of Urban Density on Fuel Demand (2009, methodology): “Mindali et al (2004) used the Co-Plot method to test the effect of urban density and land use mix on fuel consumption, but found no correlation between urban density and fuel consumption.”
Evolving Narratives of Low-Carbon Futures in Transportation (2016, background): “While Newman and Kenworthy (1989) see population density as a major factor explaining transport energy use, Mindali, Raveh, and Salomon (2004) reveal that urban population density loses explanatory power if other variables such as per capita car km are included.”
The Environmental Impacts of Sprawl: Emergent Themes from the Past Decade of Planning Research (2013, background): “Several studies [71–73] have contributed evidence supporting Newman and Kenworthy’s [74] findings that more compact urban form is also more energy efficient, from a transportation perspective.”
Urbanization and renewable and non-renewable energy consumption in OECD countries: An empirical analysis (2014, background): “Their results are also said to be limited due to using 1980s data, which is suspected as not being accurate and consistent (Mindali et al., 2004).”
