In new street additions, Ramanagara built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Sha fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Jinhae-gu fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Ramanagara and Jinhae-gu both became progressively more disconnected, while Sha became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Ramanagara had a more connected network than Sha in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
