What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Ponda built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Gobindpur fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Qianxi fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Ponda became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Gobindpur became progressively more disconnected and Qianxi became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Ponda had a more sprawly network than Gobindpur in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
