What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Taxco built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Zhentou fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Dörtyol fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Taxco and Zhentou both became progressively more disconnected, while Dörtyol fluctuated in connectivity. Taxco and Zhentou have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
