In new street additions, Tekkali built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Kiffa built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Bayreuth built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full network, Tekkali and Bayreuth both became progressively more disconnected, while Kiffa became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Tekkali and Kiffa have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
