In new street additions, Bozüyük fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Silvan built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Fugar built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full network, Bozüyük and Fugar both became progressively more disconnected, while Silvan became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Bozüyük and Silvan have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
