In new street additions, Sikar and Mirpur Khas both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Portmore fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Sikar had a more sprawly network than Mirpur Khas in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
