In new street additions, Xinxu and Braja Asri both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Jingyang fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Xinxu had a more connected network than Braja Asri in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
