The presented maps illustrate the layout of a particular city in 1950 and its current schematic after redevelopment.
Overall, the city has undergone significant refurbishments, shifting from a simple residential site to a densely-populated and functional utility city. With the construction of novel infrastructure such as a dam and bridges alongside the expansion of the business district and residential area, the site is more well-organized and accessible to the local residents.
As can be seen from the map in 1950, the city was not expanded, which only accommodated around 20,000 citizens. On the heartland of the city positioned a business district, which was bounded by the residential area on the north, with two principal thoroughfares intersecting each other. Notably, on the southern side of the city, there was a sinuous river meandering across the west-east axis that curved the site on the southeastern periphery, where there was a sole airport, furnishing transportation for the local people. Adjacent to this, a bridge was located, providing the accessibility for citizens to travel to the other side. In the meantime, nearby the bridge located a building, serving for governmental purposes.
A temporary examination reveals that the site has been completely innovated. The central residential area has expanded dramatically, surrounding the broadened business district on every edge. On the central area, the construction of a new dam formulated water impoundment behind the dam, which requires the second bridge on the southeastern quadrant to be built to facilitate the transportation between the areas. The third major road of the city has been introduced on the southern periphery, which later runs across the newly-constructed government building. In addition, the aforementioned airport of the city is enlarged, enhancing the citizen’s flight experience.
