What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Fenggang built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Meshginshahr built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Mpulungu fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Fenggang became progressively more disconnected, while Meshginshahr became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Mpulungu fluctuated in connectivity. Fenggang and Meshginshahr have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
