In new street additions, Beed and Faridpur both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Muridke built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Beed had a more sprawly network than Faridpur in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
