What about similarly populated cities?
Wates, Nazilli, and Chiplun all built increasingly disconnected streets over time in new street construction. Looking at the full network, Nazilli and Chiplun both became progressively more disconnected, while Wates became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Wates and Chiplun have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
