What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Sri Ganganagar fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Aksu built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Brno built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Sri Ganganagar and Brno have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
