What about similarly populated cities?
While Rada` and Kawthaung both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, Meiganga fluctuated in its street-construction patterns in new street additions. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Meiganga and Kawthaung have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
