In new street additions, Tezpur built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Taubaté fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Mandi Bahauddin built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Tezpur and Mandi Bahauddin have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
