In new street additions, Hapur built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Yenagoa fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Kerman built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Hapur grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Yenagoa became progressively more disconnected and Kerman became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards.
