In new street additions, Jalesar and Kotputli both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Sangamner fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Jalesar had a more sprawly network than Sangamner in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
