What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Rajoir built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Chunar fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Ati built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Rajoir grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Chunar fluctuated in connectivity and Ati became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Rajoir and Chunar have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
