What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Yenagoa fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Khan Yunis fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Hapur built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Yenagoa became progressively more disconnected, while Khan Yunis fluctuated in connectivity and Hapur grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Notably, Yenagoa had a more connected network than Hapur in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
