The chart above shows the evolution of street network disconnectedness of the most connected and most disconnected cities in Thailand, for both new street additions (left) and the aggregate street network (right).
Thailand in context: Street-network sprawl of new development
The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Thailand rose steadily. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Thailand, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Bangkok Metropolis, Chon Buri and Chiang Mai. Disconnectivity in the most populous cities in Thailand follow the same country trend.
The largest city in Thailand is Bangkok, with a population of 15105500 people. Taking into account the entire (i.e. aggregate) street network in Bangkok as of 2020, the overall level of street-network sprawl is 7.87, which is very sprawly. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Bangkok rose steadily.
Thailand in context: Aggregate street-network sprawl
As of 2020, the city with the most disconnected street network in Thailand is Bangkok with an SNDi of 7.87, which is very sprawly. Conversely, the most connected city is Phrae with an SNDi of 3.32, which is moderately connected. See these two cities’ trends in the above graph, or dive deeper into each: Phrae, Bangkok.
