Haining in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Haining in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Haining plotted against Zhejiang and China. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Haining's incremental SNDi rose from 3.05 to 5.61 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Haining ranked 106th out of 116 cities in Zhejiang and 1716th out of 1843 in China as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Haining fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Tima fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Moundou built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Haining and Moundou both became progressively more disconnected, while Tima became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Haining had a more connected network than Tima in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
