In new street additions, Villavicencio fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Nagasaki built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Rangkasbitung 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, Villavicencio had a more connected network than Nagasaki in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
