In new street additions, Athani and Mianchi both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Khanke Mod built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Athani became progressively more disconnected, while Mianchi grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Khanke Mod became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Athani had a more connected network than Mianchi in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
