While Babol and Mubi both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, Bor built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns in new street additions. Looking at the full network, Babol and Mubi both became progressively more disconnected, while Bor became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Notably, Bor had a more sprawly network than Mubi in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
