The two maps highlight the main developments that have taken place in the coastal city of Oakville, over the period between 2010 and today.
Overall, what stands out from both maps is that Oakville has become far more developed and modern, with more accommodation, amenities and entertainment facilities, and fewes forest and green spaces.
In detail, if we look at the north of the city, one change has been that the forest in the north-east has been cut down and a cinema has been constructed in its place. In 2010, there did not used to be a university and student accommodation, but today these buldings have been erected in the north of the city. As regards the city centre, the past years have seen the introduction of an e-scooter rental scheme, making it easier for people for people to travel around the city centre without producing emission.
Regarding of the south of the city, a significant change is the conversion of the library in the south-west into new houses. Furthermore, new flats have also been built in the south-east of the city wich could have become a green space in 2010. A futher important devlopment is of the rod near the sea. Bars and restarants have also been opened along the coast, meaning that this area is now nicer to visit for residents and tourists.
