The two maps demonstrate the differences in the city of Nelson from 2000 to current times.
Overall, the maps illuminate that in the past, the city didn’t have any modern trading points and some entertainment facilities, however nowadays the number of places have been increased. Furthermore, the public transport system has been improved over a period of time.
It is conspicuous that the hall of residence is constructed right of the university in the north-east, while on the other side, in the north-west, the majority of trees cutted down and replaced by a new shopping centre. The building, which is adjacent to the university, has been provided by the trainline, with a way to move alongside to the city centre. Moreover, the train station, which had been built beside the university, made it to the front of the trainline.
Behind the city centre, the old market has been transformed to the new shop in the south-east, the new covered market has been introduced on the other side of the city market. In the south, the car road, which is between the city centre and the port, has been redeveloped to become a pedestrian road. People run through the pedestrian road and can get to the food complexes, such as the restaurant, the bars and the clubs. These places are industrialized only in the current time.
