Depends what you consider sprawl. I wouldn't consider much of SE Michigan sprawl since they developed due to population growth. I would consider areas like Oakland Township and Macomb Township sprawl since those areas were developed when there was no need, no growth in population, no shortage of housing, etc in the area.
