I think the study actually treats districts within cities as villages, in a sense. I don't think a city's inclusion on the list means the whole area gets its blessing - the cities are there because they contains one or more of those "walkable", fully self-contained "villages".
I lived in Toronto for a couple of years in a fantastic, walkable district. I used to tell people it was like living in a small town in the middle of the city.
I also had a car at that time, but I left it parked Mon-Fri, and only used it on weekends. In fact for a long time, I parked several km from where I lived, because I didn't have a spot at the house. Didn't matter though, as I only needed to get to it once a week.
