What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Kayanza built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Alkalere fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Idku built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Kayanza and Idku both became progressively more disconnected, while Alkalere fluctuated in connectivity. Kayanza and Alkalere have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
