What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Limbé built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Kizlyar built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Jarud built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Looking at the full network, Kizlyar and Jarud both became progressively more disconnected, while Limbé became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Limbé and Kizlyar have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
