Xingye in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Xingye in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Xingye plotted against Guangxi and China. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Xingye's incremental SNDi rose from 2.6 to 3.01 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Xingye ranked 26th out of 63 cities in Guangxi and 989th out of 1843 in China as of 2020.

In new street additions, Xingye fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Rockingham built increasingly connected streets over time and Chester built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Xingye fluctuated in connectivity, while Rockingham became progressively more connected and Chester became progressively more disconnected. Xingye and Chester have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
