Suizhou in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Suizhou plotted against Hubei and China. The SNDi of new construction in Suizhou was at its lowest in 1991-2005, compared to Hubei which peaked in 1976-1990 and China which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. Most recently, Suizhou's incremental SNDi rose from 2.81 to 3.97 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Suizhou ranked 57th out of 77 cities in Hubei and 1345th out of 1843 in China as of 2020.

In new street additions, Suizhou built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Franca built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Nagasaki built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. Looking at the full network, Franca and Nagasaki both became progressively more disconnected, while Suizhou became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards.
