What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Mampong and Ringim both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Dongfeng built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Mampong and Dongfeng have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
