What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Rajim built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Sabzevar fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Syzran built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Rajim grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Sabzevar became progressively more connected and Syzran became progressively more disconnected. Rajim and Sabzevar have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
