What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Jingdezhen built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Hathras built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Yazd built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Jingdezhen grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Hathras became progressively more disconnected and Yazd became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Notably, Jingdezhen had a more sprawly network than Hathras in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
