Langsa in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Langsa in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Langsa plotted against Aceh and Indonesia. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Langsa's incremental SNDi rose from 4.56 to 5.42 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Langsa ranked 3rd out of 8 cities in Aceh and 105th out of 366 in Indonesia as of 2020.

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