The maps demonstrate the transformation of the Lakeside area from 2000 to 2009.
Overall, it can be seen that remarkable developments have taken place in the Lakeside area. The most noticeable changes are the expansion of the industrial complex and the replacement of the art centre.
In the year 2000, the northern section of Lakeside was characterized by a woodland area, flanked by a lake and an old town situated towards the center. The residential area adjacent to the old town was complemented by a school to the east and an industrial complex, along with two additional residential zones to the south. In the southwest, derelict warehouses were present. However, by 2009, the lake was notably replaced by a pond, while the old town was converted into office spaces. Furthermore, the residential zone underwent a significant transformation into a car park, demonstrating a shift in functional land use in that locality.
In terms of amenities, the area witnessed substantial expansion by 2009. The school not only retained its position but also expanded its facilities, now accompanied by a newly established university. The arts center was transformed into a multi-screen cinema, significantly enhancing the recreational options available in Lakeside. Additionally, a new shopping center was introduced to the north of the southern river, indicating a pivot towards commercial development. The industrial complex and the southernmost residential area remained, yet the central residential area and derelict warehouses had been completely eradicated, suggesting a shift towards more urban-focused development.
