Abu Huminus in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Abu Huminus in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Abu Huminus plotted against Al Buhayrah and Egypt. The SNDi of new construction in Abu Huminus rose steadily, compared to Al Buhayrah which peaked in 1976-1990 and Egypt which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. Most recently, Abu Huminus's incremental SNDi rose from 3.74 to 3.99 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Abu Huminus ranked 8th out of 13 cities in Al Buhayrah and 85th out of 213 in Egypt as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Abu Huminus and Chintamani both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Pakaria 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, Abu Huminus had a more sprawly network than Chintamani in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
