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