Metro in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Metro in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Metro plotted against Lampung and Indonesia. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Metro's incremental SNDi rose from 3.47 to 4.45 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Metro ranked 4th out of 9 cities in Lampung and 32nd out of 366 in Indonesia as of 2020.
