What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, G'ijduvon built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Oued Zem fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Jacmel built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, G'ijduvon had a more sprawly network than Jacmel in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
