In new street additions, Mokama and Losari both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Arakkonam built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Mokama had a more sprawly network than Arakkonam in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
