Gonda in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Gonda plotted against Uttar Pradesh and India. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Gonda's incremental SNDi rose from 4.33 to 4.79 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Gonda ranked 196th out of 291 cities in Uttar Pradesh and 1266th out of 1868 in India as of 2020.

In new street additions, Gonda fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Zucheng built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Bauchi built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Gonda and Bauchi both became progressively more disconnected, while Zucheng grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Notably, Gonda had a more connected network than Bauchi in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
