What about similarly populated cities?
- Maluku, Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Sakhi Sarwar, Pakistan
- Ningling, China
- Shikaripura, India
- Genet, Ethiopia
- Karatsu, Japan
While Maluku and Shikaripura both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, Nyeri built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved in new street additions. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Nyeri and Maluku have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
