Madhya Pradesh: region in India
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.

Most recent snapshot: Taking into account the entire (i.e. aggregate) street network in Madhya Pradesh as of 2014, the overall level of street-network sprawl is 4.56, which is highly disconnected.
Trends in street network construction: The SNDis of street construction for the respective time periods are 3.84, 3.65, 4.79 and 5.8. The disconnectivity of new streets constructed in Madhya Pradesh fell, then rose. In 1976-1990, new street layouts were the most connected.
Quantity of street network construction: The street network in Madhya Pradesh spans a total of 55086 kilometers. It is dominated by roads constructed in 2001-2014. These roads have an SNDi of 5.8, which is highly disconnected.
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 3.84, 3.73, 4.04 and 4.56. The SNDi of the aggregate street network in fell at first, but Madhya Pradesh has worsened in disconnectivity since 1990.
The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Madhya Pradesh was at its lowest in 1976-1990. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Madhya Pradesh, we can consider three of its most populous cities: Indore, Bhopal and Jabalpur. Out of the three cities, Bhopal and Jabalpur do not follow the same trend as the region. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Bhopal rose steadily. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Jabalpur rose steadily.
