No... you are mistaken! Growth is growth... period. Sprawl is sprawl. Only the zealously faithful environmentally religious use the word sprawl in place of the appropriate word: growth. I am OK with you using religions terms... but you should restrict religious postings to P&R forums.
If a city manages its affairs wisely... it may grow. Growth is a positive effect. Growth is not sprawl.
