What about similarly populated cities?
While Baolun and As Suwayrah both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, Quíbor built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved in new street additions. For the full network, Quíbor and As Suwayrah both became progressively more disconnected, while Baolun grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved.
