Sariaya in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Sariaya in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Sariaya plotted against Quezon and Philippines. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Sariaya's incremental SNDi rose from 5.59 to 5.66 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Sariaya ranked 4th out of 5 cities in Quezon and 82nd out of 114 in Philippines as of 2020.

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