Mohmadi 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 Mohmadi plotted against Uttar Pradesh and India. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Mohmadi's incremental SNDi rose from 1.29 to 1.41 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Mohmadi ranked 13th out of 291 cities in Uttar Pradesh and 41st out of 1868 in India as of 2020.

In new street additions, Mohmadi fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Dharmavaram built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Tanuku built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Mohmadi and Tanuku both became progressively more disconnected, while Dharmavaram became progressively more connected. Mohmadi and Dharmavaram have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
