In new street additions, Söke and Nanjing both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Almora built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Söke had a more sprawly network than Nanjing in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
