In new street additions, Dahod built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Windhoek built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Qarchak fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Dahod and Qarchak have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
