What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Silchar built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Liaocheng built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Davanagere built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend.
