LabeWuchangLishui

In new street additions, Labé and Wuchang both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Lishui built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Labé and Wuchang both became progressively more disconnected, while Lishui became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Labé had a more connected network than Wuchang in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
