In new street additions, Tokat built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Samarbagh built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Medea built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Tokat grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, while Samarbagh became progressively more disconnected and Medea became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Tokat had a more sprawly network than Samarbagh in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
