The provided map illustrates how an area called Lakeside transformed over a nine-year period, from 2000 to 2009.
Overall, it is evident that the area underwent a dramatic transformation, with the most significant changes being the disappearance of several residential areas to make way for an expanded industrial zone and other modern facilities.
Looking first at the southern part of Lakeside, it can be seen that the residential area located in the southeast corner of the map was demolished with a view to expanding the industrial complex. To the west of the river, the residential area and the art centre also saw dramatic alterations. While a shopping centre was constructed on the site of the former, the latter was converted into a modern cinema.
Regarding other changes, while the residential neighbourhood in the northwest area remained untouched, the rundown warehouse to the east of it was demolished and replaced by a new parking lot. New offices and a new university were also erected on the site of the old town overlooking the lake, which had shrunk into a small pond by 2009.
