It’s less about sprawl and more about design. I never mentioned sprawl.

Birmingham and Atlanta are not pedestrian friendly because they were not designed to be pedestrian friendly. It could take a pedestrian 1 hour to walk a distance that is 200 yards “as the crow flies” because of the highways and obstacles to walk around in order to get to a pedestrian crossing.

Their city centers are pedestrian friendly, but the sprawl-burbs...not so much. Basically a disaster that can't be easily fixed.
