The image presents two maps comparing the town of Lakeside between the years 2000 and 2009. The maps are oriented with a north indicator. In the 2000 map, the town comprises a large lake in the center, surrounded by the Old Town and residential areas. Notably, there's a derelict warehouse zone adjacent to the Old Town. A river flows alongside and partly encircles the town’s southern boundary. The south-west section includes an industrial complex and another residential area. A central residential zone sits south of the lake, while an Arts Centre and School are located in the south-east.
By 2009, Lakeside underwent several changes. While the lake and river maintain their presence, the derelict warehouses have been replaced by a car park, offices, and a university. The original woodland near the lake remains unchanged, but a new pond appears east of the lake. The multi-screen cinema and shopping center are new additions, located adjacent to the river in what was a simple, unlabeled expansion space. The south-western industrial complex and southern residential zones appear unaltered. The Arts Centre of 2000 has been replaced, or possibly incorporated, with schools in the 2009 map. Such transformations reflect urban redevelopment focusing on enhancing educational facilities and commercial activity while maintaining some green spaces like woodland and adding new water features such as the pond.

The two maps illustrate how the town of Lakeside has developed over a nine-year period.
Overall, the area has undergone significant changes, transforming from a place with numerous leisure facilities into an area with more workplaces and educational institutions.
In 2000, the residential area was located in the northwest of the town, next to both derelict warehouses and the old town. Additionally, the arts centre and the school were situated between two leisure areas, offering convenient access for local residents. On the left side of the map, a river flows from a lake originating in a woodland. Meanwhile, an industrial complex and another residential zone were located nearby.
By 2009, considerable changes had been made. The old town and derelict warehouses were demolished and replaced by new structures, including a car park, offices, a university, and additional schools. Moreover, the lake was transformed into a pond in the northeast of the town. Furthermore, a multi-screen cinema and a shopping centre were constructed in the centre of the map, replacing the arts centre and a residential area. The industrial complex in the southeast remained unchanged.
