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