ad-Damer in context: Street-network sprawl trends
ad-Damer in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with ad-Damer plotted against River Nile and Sudan. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, ad-Damer's incremental SNDi rose from 1.22 to 1.25 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, ad-Damer ranked 1st out of 3 cities in River Nile and 18th out of 78 in Sudan as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, ad-Damer fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Huize built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Hohoe built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, ad-Damer grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Huize grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Hohoe became progressively more disconnected. ad-Damer and Huize have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
