While Tampico and Cangzhou both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, Ajmer built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved in new street additions. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Ajmer and Cangzhou have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
