What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Ogden built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Malkapur built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Gadarwara built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Ogden became progressively more disconnected, while Malkapur became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Gadarwara became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Ogden and Malkapur have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
