In new street additions, Rajsamand fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Sarai Alamgir built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Al Ayyat built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Looking at the full network, Sarai Alamgir and Al Ayyat both became progressively more disconnected, while Rajsamand fluctuated in connectivity. Rajsamand and Al Ayyat have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
