Kodada in context: Street-network sprawl trends

The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Kodada plotted against Telangana and India. The SNDi of new construction in Kodada rose steadily, compared to Telangana which rose steadily and India which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. Most recently, Kodada's incremental SNDi rose from 2.91 to 3.9 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Kodada ranked 38th out of 47 cities in Telangana and 594th out of 1868 in India as of 2020.

• Panundaan, Indonesia
• Paderborn, Germany
• Mukalla, Yemen

In new street additions, Kodada built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Yên Bái built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Panundaan built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Kodada and Panundaan both became progressively more disconnected, while Yên Bái became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Kodada and Yên Bái have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
