The provided maps illustrate the urban developments in the town of Springer from 1970 until now.
Overall, Springer underwent significant changes, characterised by the expansion of residential and commercial facilities at the expense of the farmland and the forests.
In the northern section, the 1970 houses and the forest have been replaced by apartments and an airport, leaving a small portion of the forest between the buildings. The central part, which contained a single shop, houses and some forest area in 1970, has been redeveloped into a commercial zone featuring multiple shops, a school, and the forest being retained in the eastern side.
The southern section has undergone the most dramatic shift. The vast farmland that dominated the area in 1970 has been drastically reduced and relocated to the southeast corner. In its place, houses, several shops, and a complex of apartments was constructed.
In conclusion, while the western forest strip remains, the overall greenery has diminished to accommodate a modern infrastructure.
