What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Nha Trang and Praia Grande both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Haldwani fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Nha Trang and Praia Grande have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
