In new street additions, Cáceres and Jardim Santa Fé both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Redenção built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Cáceres had a more connected network than Redenção in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
