What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Fuding and Toledo both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Fukaya fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Fuding and Toledo both became progressively more disconnected, while Fukaya fluctuated in connectivity. Notably, Fuding had a more connected network than Fukaya in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
