The chart above shows the evolution of street network disconnectedness of the most connected and most disconnected cities in Guinea, for both new street additions (left) and the aggregate street network (right).
Guinea in context: Street-network sprawl of new development
The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Guinea rose steadily. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Guinea, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Conakry, Kankan and Nzérékoré. Out of the three regions, Kankan does not follow the same trend as the country. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Kankan followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase.

The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Coyah rose steadily.
Guinea in context: Aggregate street-network sprawl
As of 2020, the city with the most disconnected street network in Guinea is Lola with an SNDi of 4.81, which is sprawly. Conversely, the most connected city is Balato with an SNDi of 1.13, which is very well-connected. See these two cities’ trends in the above graph, or dive deeper into each: Balato, Lola.
