What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Bush built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Errachidia built increasingly connected streets over time and Xuyong fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Bush became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Errachidia became progressively more connected and Xuyong grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved.
