What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Fengcheng built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Jinghong fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Wuxing built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full network, Fengcheng grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Jinghong became progressively more disconnected and Wuxing grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. Fengcheng and Jinghong have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
