What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Jishui built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Suiling built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Sangareddy fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Jishui grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Suiling grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Sangareddy became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Jishui had a more connected network than Suiling in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
