Fiji in context: Street-network sprawl of new development

The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Fiji followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Fiji, we can consider two of its most populous regions: Central and Western. None of the most populous cities follow the same trend as the region. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Central rose steadily. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Western rose steadily.

The largest city in Fiji is Suva, with a population of 220500 people. Taking into account the entire (i.e. aggregate) street network in Suva as of 2020, the overall level of street-network sprawl is 7.46, which is very sprawly. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Suva rose steadily.
