In new street additions, Aiyepe and Katha both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Tarakandi built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Aiyepe became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Tarakandi became progressively more connected and Katha became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Aiyepe had a more connected network than Tarakandi in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
