Goiana in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Goiana in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Goiana plotted against Pernambuco and Brazil. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Goiana's incremental SNDi rose from 2.22 to 3.57 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Goiana ranked 9th out of 15 cities in Pernambuco and 169th out of 365 in Brazil as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Goiana fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while El M'Ghair fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Ak-Bulun built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Goiana became progressively more disconnected, while El M'Ghair became progressively more connected and Ak-Bulun became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Goiana and El M'Ghair have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
