Fengshun in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Fengshun in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Fengshun plotted against Guangdong and China. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Fengshun's incremental SNDi rose from 5.66 to 6.52 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Fengshun ranked 126th out of 133 cities in Guangdong and 1803rd out of 1843 in China as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Fengshun fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Tongren built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Chengguan built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Fengshun fluctuated in connectivity, while Tongren became progressively more disconnected and Chengguan grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Fengshun and Tongren have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
