Omo in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Omo in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Omo plotted against Anambra and Nigeria. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Omo's incremental SNDi rose from 3.73 to 4.46 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Omo ranked 2nd out of 4 cities in Anambra and 296th out of 422 in Nigeria as of 2020.

In new street additions, Omo fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Lugano built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Bhamo built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Omo and Lugano have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
