FacatativaLongshuiBaoqing

In new street additions, Facatativá fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Longshui built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Baoqing built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Facatativá had a more sprawly network than Longshui in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
