While Bongdam and Qila Didar Singh both built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, Moa built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved in new street additions. For the full network, Moa became progressively more disconnected, while Bongdam became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Qila Didar Singh became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Moa and Bongdam have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
