In new street additions, Kamisee built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Teng'ao built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Göppingen built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Kamisee became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Teng'ao grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Göppingen became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Kamisee had a more connected network than Göppingen in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
