In new street additions, Nandurbar fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Termez built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Miyazaki built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Nandurbar and Miyazaki have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
