What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Wuming and Bawku both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Newport News built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Wuming and Bawku have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
