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 While the lake and river maintain their presence, the derelict warehouses have been replaced by a car park, offices, and a university.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 diagrams illustrate how the the layout of the town of Lakeside transformed between 2000 and 2009.
Overall, Lakeside town witnessed the expansion of the industrial complex and several areas of the town were converted for other purposes.
As can be seen from the maps, the northwest accommodation remained unchanged, while the derelict warehouse was replaced by the car park and the old town was converted into offices. In addition, the arts centre was knocked down to built a multi-screen cinema, while the housing located to the south of it was transformed to a shopping centre. The school experienced no changes; however, a new university was constructed to the northeast of the school to meet the students’ need.
Turning to the other features, the town saw a shrinking of woodland as well as the lake, making it into a small pond. However, the flow of the river remained the same. The residential area in the bottom right-hand corner was demolished, whereas the industrial complex significantly expanded and occupied a large area in the southeast corner.
