What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Khorbranga fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Balcad built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Ihnasya al Madinah built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Khorbranga and Ihnasya al Madinah both became progressively more disconnected, while Balcad became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Notably, Khorbranga had a more connected network than Balcad in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
