The two maps illustrate the developments at the seaside resort of Templet from 2000 to 2013.
Overall, significant transformations can be observed, notably the introduction of new infrastructure and residential units, resulting in alterations to the natural landscape.
In 2000, Templet featured a modest layout comprising eight houses, a lake, three trees, two bridges traversing a river, a school, a hospital, six blocks of flats, five detached houses, and a railway station located to the east. The hospital was situated in the upper right section, adjacent to a solitary house and a single tree, while the school was located to the left across a road. A park encircled the school and was bisected by the river, which was connected by two bridges. In the top left, a serene lake offered a picturesque park area, hosting several residences, including a large mansion. A solitary road ran beneath this park, accompanied by some trees, and a small village with a single block of flats resided in the bottom left corner.
By 2013, profound changes had transformed the landscape of Templet. The area around the hospital underwent significant alterations, as all trees were removed and additional houses were erected. The park adjacent to the river was replaced by a cave, while a house and accompanying tree beneath the school were demolished. The large park with the lake experienced modest changes, with the mansion replaced by three new blocks of flats. In stark contrast, the bottom left corner underwent dramatic redevelopment, with the small village eradicated to accommodate two additional blocks of flats and a massive supermarket. A new road was constructed to link the supermarket with the flats. Furthermore, while one additional bridge was constructed, the overall road infrastructure remained unchanged. These developments, including the establishment of a factory and ferry service, underscore a prioritization of economic growth over environmental preservation.
