In new street additions, Fengcheng built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Reims built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Indaiatuba built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Fengcheng had a more connected network than Reims in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
