While Takht Bhai and Matadi both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, Wonosobo built increasingly disconnected streets over time in new street additions. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Wonosobo had a more connected network than Matadi in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
