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 While the lake and river maintain their presence, the derelict warehouses have been replaced by a car park, offices, and a university.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.
Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The diagrams illustrate the transformation of a town’s layout that occured in Lakeside between 2000 and 2009.
Overall, amenities to the left of the river offered improved living standard, while changes in the other side area focused on optimising industrial development. Additionally, natural landscape almost halved in size, along with the reduction of some residential areas.
To the left of the river, households in the top corner remained, whereas the surroundings witnessed reconfigurations. Specifically, warehouses and an old town to the right were replaced with a car park and offices, while the arts center below was changed into multi-screen cinema. On a lower portion, a shopping center was established where the old residential area used to be located, and more schools and a university was built nearby.
To the other side, the year 2009 exhibited industrial complex covering nearly half of the area, with a substantial expansion from a small industrial zone to a considerably large-scale one. This enlargement also nescessitated to the demolishment of some households nearby, reflecting an attempt to industrialize the whole right-side area.
