The maps illustrate the changes that occurred in East Haven between 2008 and 2016.
Overall, East Haven experienced significant development, particularly with the replacement of old structures by modern facilities such as shopping centres and universities. The area became more urbanised over this period.
In 2008, East Haven had an old town surrounded by derelict warehouses, an arts centre, a school, residential areas, and an industrial complex in the south-east. There was also a large woodland area with a lake in the north-east.
By 2016, the derelict warehouses and old town were replaced by a car park, offices, and a university, while the lake was converted into a small pond. The arts centre was replaced with a multi-screen cinema and a shopping centre. The industrial complex expanded further to occupy the south-east. However, the school and residential areas remained in the same locations.
In summary, East Haven transformed from a mixed residential and traditional area into a more commercialised and educational town with new modern facilitie.
