The given maps depict the main hub of a small-sized town named Islip, with the upper map showing its current layout while the lower map showcases the ambitious development plan that has been envisioned for the uplift of the central zone of Islip.
From the maps, it is clear that at present, the central area of Islip only contains a few amenities, while the proposed development plan would not only add many other facilities to the area but also improve the road network.
The map at the top shows the current state of the main hub of Islip which consists of a main road with two ancillary roads connecting the school and park. Moreover, on both sides of the main road, there are multiple shops with a residential area behind the shopping area on the southern side.
The other map depicting the development plan for the central area envisions many new amenities to the hub, including a bus station, a shopping mall, a car parking zone, as well as a new housing scheme. Further, the main road has been converted into a pedestrian pathway, while a new circular dual carriageway will encompass the entire commercial hub of the central zone.
