What about similarly populated cities?
- Umuahia, Nigeria
- Ottawa, Canada
- Port Louis, Mauritius
- Xianyang, China
- Zamboanga City, Philippines
- Deoria, India
In new street additions, Brahmapur and Xianyang both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Umuahia built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Brahmapur and Umuahia have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
