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