Kribi in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Kribi in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Kribi plotted against Sud and Cameroon. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Kribi's incremental SNDi rose from 8.15 to 8.4 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Kribi ranked 3rd out of 3 cities in Sud and 44th out of 44 in Cameroon as of 2020.

In new street additions, Kribi built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Kathua built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Tauranga built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend.
