In new street additions, Hennigsdorf and Tungan Fulani both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Malummaduri 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, Hennigsdorf had a more sprawly network than Tungan Fulani in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
