Guider in context: Street-network sprawl trends

The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Guider plotted against Nord and Cameroon. The SNDi of new construction in Guider peaked in 1976-1990, compared to Nord which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase and Cameroon which rose steadily. Most recently, Guider's incremental SNDi fell from 2.33 to 2.3 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Guider ranked 3rd out of 5 cities in Nord and 9th out of 44 in Cameroon as of 2020.

Rankings go from most connected to most disconnected — rank 1 is the most connected.

In new street additions, Guider and Makrana both built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Pampore built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Guider fluctuated in connectivity, while Pampore became progressively more disconnected and Makrana grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. Guider and Pampore have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
