In new street additions, Latina and Tailai both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Magangué fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Latina had a more sprawly network than Tailai in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
