The chart above shows the evolution of street network disconnectedness of the most connected and most disconnected cities in Cambodia, for both new street additions (left) and the aggregate street network (right).
Cambodia in context: Street-network sprawl of new development
The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Cambodia rose steadily. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Cambodia, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Phnom Penh, Siemréab and Batdâmbâng. Out of the three regions, Siemréab and Batdâmbâng do not follow the same trend as the country. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Siemréab was at its lowest in 1991-2005. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Batdâmbâng was at its lowest in 1976-1990.
The largest city in Cambodia is Phnom Penh, with a population of 1907500 people. Taking into account the entire (i.e. aggregate) street network in Phnom Penh as of 2020, the overall level of street-network sprawl is 3.94, which is relatively sprawly. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Phnom Penh rose steadily.
Cambodia in context: Aggregate street-network sprawl
As of 2020, the city with the most disconnected street network in Cambodia is Anlong Veng with an SNDi of 5.13, which is very sprawly. Conversely, the most connected city is Poipet with an SNDi of 2.76, which is relatively well-connected. See these two cities’ trends in the above graph, or dive deeper into each: Poipet, Anlong Veng.
The level of street-network sprawl in the aggregate network in Cambodia rose steadily. To get a sense of how the aggregate street network has changed in Cambodia, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Phnom Penh, Siemréab and Batdâmbâng. Out of the three regions, Siemréab and Batdâmbâng do not follow the same trend as the country. The level of street-network sprawl in the aggregate network in Siemréab was at its lowest in 1991-2005. The level of street-network sprawl in the aggregate network in Batdâmbâng was at its lowest in 1991-2005.
