What about similarly populated cities?
While Bismil and Karyamakmur both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, Burie built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns in new street additions. Looking at the full network, Bismil and Karyamakmur both became progressively more disconnected, while Burie became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards.
