While Machiques and Maluru both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, Koson built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved in new street additions. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Koson had a more sprawly network than Maluru in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
