While Chauhaddi and Souk Sebt Oulad Nemma both built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, Godagari fluctuated in its street-construction patterns in new street additions. For the full network, Godagari became progressively more disconnected, while Chauhaddi became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Souk Sebt Oulad Nemma became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Godagari had a more connected network than Chauhaddi in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
