Naxi: city in Sichuan, China
What exactly constitutes the spatial extent of the city? For these aggregations, we used the Global Human Settlement Layer Urban Center Database (GHS-UCDB) to define the boundaries of the city. These cities -- or urban centers -- cover areas that are densely populated and built-up, and so may extend beyond the spatial borders of these cities that we may be familiar with. The GHS area is shaded in blue.

Trends in street network construction: The SNDis of street construction for the respective time periods are -0.78, nan, -0.85 and 2.32. Data was not available in 1976-1990.
Quantity of street network construction: The street network in Naxi spans a total of 49 kilometers. It is dominated by roads constructed in 2001-2014. These roads have an SNDi of 2.32, which is in the 40th to 60th percentile of disconnectedness.
Effect on the aggregate network: New construction in each period adds to the total stock of streets, but does not change streets that have already been built. Therefore, it has a limited effect on the street network as a whole. The SNDis of the aggregate street network in the respective time periods are -0.78, -0.75, -0.76 and 1.24.
