In new street additions, Cinkassé built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Cruzeiro fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Qitaihe built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Looking at the full network, Cruzeiro and Qitaihe both became progressively more disconnected, while Cinkassé became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Cinkassé had a more connected network than Qitaihe in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
