In new street additions, Sakti built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Bridgend built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Barda built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Sakti and Bridgend both became progressively more disconnected, while Barda became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Sakti and Barda have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
