In 2000, Lakeside town was mostly a residential area. There was a river running from south to north with a lake on its northern mouth. To the north-west of the river, an art center and a school could be found, which were flanked by residential areas to their north and south. Furthermore, an old town and a derelict warehouse were situated by the lake further north. The south-eastern part of the town was occupied by an industrial complex with another residential area to its south.
By 2009, the town had undergone a complete makeover. Probably the most significant change was the reconstruction of the old town into modern offices and a university along with the conversion of the old warehouse into a parking lot for convenient parking. Additionally, the art center was rebuilt into a new cinema while the residential area to its south was repurposed into a shopping mall.

Moreover, the industrial complex across the river was expanded southward taking the place of the residential area there. Finally, the lake had significantly shrunk, turning into a pond.
