Daik-UBaoqingEl Khroub

In new street additions, Daik-U fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Baoqing built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and El Khroub built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Daik-U and Baoqing both became progressively more disconnected, while El Khroub became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Notably, Daik-U had a more connected network than El Khroub in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
