What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Tandalti fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Tulu Bolo built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Wengan built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full network, Tandalti and Tulu Bolo both became progressively more disconnected, while Wengan grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved.
