Fenyi in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Fenyi in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Fenyi plotted against Jiangxi and China. The SNDi of new construction in Fenyi was at its lowest in 1991-2005, compared to Jiangxi which peaked in 1976-1990 and China which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. Most recently, Fenyi's incremental SNDi rose from 2.54 to 2.63 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Fenyi ranked 44th out of 82 cities in Jiangxi and 839th out of 1843 in China as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Fenyi built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Musan built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Manapparai built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Fenyi became progressively more connected, while Musan grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Manapparai grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Fenyi and Musan have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
