In new street additions, Sincelejo fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Shivpuri built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Vadalur built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Sincelejo and Shivpuri both became progressively more disconnected, while Vadalur became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Sincelejo and Shivpuri have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
