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