The two diagrams depict how a small village situated in the west of Ireland has developed since the year 2000.

Overall, despite some features remaining the same, this small rural village has transformed into a more residential one, with significant changes in public amenities and transport infrastructure.

In 2000, the village lay to the north of the sea, with a farmland being located in the north-west of the village. There were two main roads running from north to south and east to west, along which housing, shops, a market and a hotel were found. In the southernmost territory, there was a dock.

By the present day, a park has supplanted the old agricultural land. More houses has been built along an extended branch of the main road that runs north to south. Similarly, a new branch of the same main road has been constructed in the northern section of it, along with more housing. Although the shop and the hotel has remained unchanged, a car park has been placed to the east of the latter. The previous market acorss the east-to-west road has been replaced by a row of restaurants, whereas the old dock has been demolished.
