The given maps provide a visual comparison of structural and functional changes in the mini town named “Islip,” showing its current layout and proposed development.
As seen from the maps, the town will undergo substantial modernization, and the introduction of new facilities—especially a bus station, a shopping center, and an improved transportation system—will give the town a whole new look. These improvements will make the town more convenient for its inhabitants.
Currently, the town has a basic layout, with a main road dividing it into two halves, and shops are located on both sides of this road. The main road branches off into two smaller roads, at the end of which there are a school and a park. Additionally, there are housing facilities and a countryside area in the present-day map.
According to the proposed development, the main road will be abolished and replaced by a pedestrian-only road. The upper section of the current shops will be replaced with a bus station, a shopping center, a car park, and new housing, while the lower section of shops will remain unchanged.
Notably, the most significant change is the addition of a dual circular carriageway to improve traffic flow. The shops and the park will remain unaffected in the future development plan.
