What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Mingora built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Ganzhou fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Edmonton built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Mingora had a more connected network than Ganzhou in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
