What about similarly populated cities?
While Omsk and Mingora both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, Ganzhou fluctuated in its street-construction patterns in new street additions. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Ganzhou had a more sprawly network than Mingora in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
