What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Anié fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Ghatal built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and La Spezia built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Looking at the full network, Ghatal and La Spezia both became progressively more disconnected, while Anié fluctuated in connectivity. Notably, Anié had a more sprawly network than Ghatal in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
