What about similarly populated cities?
- Yixing, China
- Kanchipuram, India
- Tangail, Bangladesh
- Stavropol, Russia
- Godhra, India
- Neijiang, China
In new street additions, Bharuch and Stavropol both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Yixing fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Bharuch and Yixing have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
