Ibrat in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Ibrat plotted against Farg'ona and Uzbekistan. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Ibrat's incremental SNDi rose from 4.1 to 5.8 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Ibrat ranked 4th out of 10 cities in Farg'ona and 20th out of 72 in Uzbekistan as of 2020.

In new street additions, Ibrat built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Fkih Ben Salah built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Shorapur built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Ibrat and Fkih Ben Salah both became progressively more disconnected, while Shorapur became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards. Ibrat and Shorapur have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
