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