The chart above shows the evolution of street network disconnectedness of the most connected and most disconnected cities in Guinea-Bissau, for both new street additions (left) and the aggregate street network (right).
Guinea-Bissau in context: Street-network sprawl of new development
The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Guinea-Bissau rose steadily. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Guinea-Bissau, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Bissau, Gabú and Bafatá. Out of the three regions, Bafatá does not follow the same trend as the country. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Bafatá followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase.
The largest city in Guinea-Bissau is Bissau, with a population of 500500 people. Taking into account the entire (i.e. aggregate) street network in Bissau as of 2020, the overall level of street-network sprawl is 3.37, which is relatively sprawly. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Bissau rose steadily.
Guinea-Bissau in context: Aggregate street-network sprawl
As of 2020, the city with the most disconnected street network in Guinea-Bissau is Bissau with an SNDi of 3.37, which is relatively sprawly. Conversely, the most connected city is Gabu with an SNDi of 1.91, which is very well-connected. See these two cities’ trends in the above graph, or dive deeper into each: Gabu, Bissau.
