The image presents two maps comparing the town of Lakeside between the years 2000 and 2009. The maps are oriented with a north indicator. In the 2000 map, the town comprises a large lake in the center, surrounded by the Old Town and residential areas. Notably, there's a derelict warehouse zone adjacent to the Old Town. A river flows alongside and partly encircles the town’s southern boundary. The south-west section includes an industrial complex and another residential area. A central residential zone sits south of the lake, while an Arts Centre and School are located in the south-east.
By 2009, Lakeside underwent several changes. While the lake and river maintain their presence, the derelict warehouses have been replaced by a car park, offices, and a university. The original woodland near the lake remains unchanged, but a new pond appears east of the lake. The multi-screen cinema and shopping center are new additions, located adjacent to the river in what was a simple, unlabeled expansion space. The south-western industrial complex and southern residential zones appear unaltered. The Arts Centre of 2000 has been replaced, or possibly incorporated, with schools in the 2009 map. Such transformations reflect urban redevelopment focusing on enhancing educational facilities and commercial activity while maintaining some green spaces like woodland and adding new water features such as the pond.

The two maps illustrate the changes that took place in the town of Lakeside over a nine-year period, from 2000 to 2009. Overall, Lakeside town underwent vastly transformations, shifting from a mostly developed area, which was only included some basic essential amenities such as schools and dwelling places into a more industrialized and well-equipped land in 2009. At that time, the industrial area was expanded while new recreational buildings were also appeared.
In 2000, the land was mostly covered with residential settlements, two housing area located in close proximity in the north-west while the other occupied the southern part of the land. Moreover, woodland made up nearly one-third of the area, stretching from northern to near the southern boundary of the town and the factory zone was undeveloped.
As can be seen from the maps, there were some noticeable changes by 2009. The industrial area was significantly expanded and dominated the southern land use. At the same time in the west side, Arts Centre, warehouses, old town and residential area which was to the east of the river were converted into cinema, car park, offices and shopping mall, respectively. Meanwhile, educational facilities were also erected such as schools and university, mostly located near the pond, which was a lake in 2000 and shrunk into this.
