Warora in context: Street-network sprawl trends

The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Warora plotted against Maharashtra and India. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Warora's incremental SNDi rose from 3.02 to 3.7 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Warora ranked 85th out of 157 cities in Maharashtra and 611th out of 1868 in India as of 2020.

Rankings go from most connected to most disconnected — rank 1 is the most connected.

In new street additions, Warora fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Yetouzi fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Yên Bái built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Warora became progressively more disconnected, while Yetouzi fluctuated in connectivity and Yên Bái became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Warora and Yên Bái have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
