Georgia in context: Street-network sprawl of new development

The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Georgia peaked in 1991-2005. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Georgia, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Tbilisi, Imereti and Ajaria. Out of the three regions, Imereti does not follow the same trend as the country. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Imereti rose steadily.

The largest city in Georgia is Tbilisi, with a population of 1041600 people. Taking into account the entire (i.e. aggregate) street network in Tbilisi as of 2020, the overall level of street-network sprawl is 3.57, which is relatively sprawly. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Tbilisi peaked in 1991-2005.

Georgia in context: Aggregate street-network sprawl

As of 2020, the city with the most disconnected street network in Georgia is Tbilisi with an SNDi of 3.57, which is relatively sprawly. Conversely, the most connected city is Kutaisi with an SNDi of 2.57, which is relatively well-connected. See these two cities’ trends in the above graph, or dive deeper into each: Kutaisi, Tbilisi.

The level of street-network sprawl in the aggregate network in Georgia rose steadily.
