I should say that urban sprawl is a cause of deforestation! If the cities are spreading then the people would need more space so they would cut down trees to make it!

That statement is true

Urban sprawl refers to the process of the expansion of human population from the urban area into a more rural area. In order to accommodate for the increase of population, the city often had to hire real estate developers to build more houses/apartments. The effort to provide lands for the developers often cause a deforestation.
