In new street additions, Mulia built increasingly connected streets over time, while Concordia built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Huadian built increasingly disconnected streets over time. Looking at the full network, Concordia and Huadian both became progressively more disconnected, while Mulia became progressively more connected. Notably, Mulia had a more sprawly network than Huadian in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
