What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Nanpur built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Changhong built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Kelo fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Nanpur and Kelo both became progressively more disconnected, while Changhong grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Notably, Nanpur had a more connected network than Changhong in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
