The given maps illustrate the some changes to lakeside over the period of 2 years between 2000 to 2009.
Overall, it can be seen that the most important difference between these two maps are expansion of industrial complex and removal of residential area.
To begin with, it is crystal clear from the map in 2000 the residential area was in southwest side and remained unchanged in 2009 whereas, derelict warehouses and old town were demolished and occupied with car park and offices, while the multi screen cinema and shopping centre were replaced to arts centre and residential area. Therefore, in 2000 school was near arts centre but in 2009 it slightly relocated near river.
Moreover, turning to woodland area ,it became smalller in 2009 as compared to year 2000. In addition, the lake was replaced with a pond, and a university was also added in 2009. Furthermore, at the same time, the residential area on the northeast side of the lakeside completely disappeared in 2009, while the industrial complex experienced a huge expansion in area.
