In new street additions, Zhuozhou fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Mailsi built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Kaspiysk built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Zhuozhou and Kaspiysk both became progressively more disconnected, while Mailsi became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Zhuozhou and Kaspiysk have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
