Nuremberg in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Nuremberg plotted against Bayern and Germany. The SNDi of new construction in Nuremberg peaked in 1976-1990, compared to Bayern which peaked in 1991-2005 and Germany which rose steadily. Most recently, Nuremberg's incremental SNDi fell from 2.43 to 2.41 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Nuremberg ranked 8th out of 14 cities in Bayern and 32nd out of 99 in Germany as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Nuremberg built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Thalassery built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Jashore built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Nuremberg and Jashore both became progressively more disconnected, while Thalassery became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Nuremberg and Jashore have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
