What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Dakri built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Taishun built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Oss fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Dakri became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards, while Taishun grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Oss became progressively more disconnected. Dakri and Taishun have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
