Burkina Faso in context: Street-network sprawl of new development
The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Burkina Faso followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase.

The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Ouagadougou followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase.
Burkina Faso in context: Aggregate street-network sprawl
As of 2020, the city with the most disconnected street network in Burkina Faso is Kaya with an SNDi of 3.58, which is relatively sprawly. Conversely, the most connected city is Leo with an SNDi of 1.04, which is very well-connected. See these two cities’ trends in the above graph, or dive deeper into each: Leo, Kaya.
