In new street additions, Manado and Port Sudan both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Kohat built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Manado and Port Sudan both became progressively more disconnected, while Kohat became progressively more connected. Notably, Manado had a more connected network than Kohat in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
