What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Munger and Kalaburagi both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Mwanza built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Munger and Mwanza have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
