Daye in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Daye plotted against Guangxi and China. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Daye's incremental SNDi rose from 5.24 to 6.68 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Daye ranked 61st out of 63 cities in Guangxi and 1772nd out of 1843 in China as of 2020.

In new street additions, Daye and Pailin both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Urambo built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Daye fluctuated in connectivity, while Pailin became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Urambo became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Daye had a more connected network than Pailin in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
