Udaipur in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Udaipur in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Udaipur plotted against Rajasthan and India. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Udaipur's incremental SNDi rose from 2.7 to 3.0 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Udaipur ranked 40th out of 95 cities in Rajasthan and 362nd out of 1868 in India as of 2020.

In new street additions, Udaipur fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Kermanshah built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Yueyang built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Udaipur and Kermanshah both became progressively more disconnected, while Yueyang grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Notably, Udaipur had a more sprawly network than Kermanshah in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
