According to the map we can compare Langley in 1910 and 1950. We need to understand how changed nature and structures.
Langley, 1910 we can see Factory which produces materials, and very few store, in the centre, there is sherman street, along which there are small houses. The railway line was near houses, it is not good because the railway it can disturb people.
Langley, 1950
Firstly we can see many stores appeared, as well as a laundry and cafe. sherman park where people enjoy nature, also made children play area, where children can play and have fun. The houses very big than in 1910. Building mansions instead of factory. Also area became more expansive.
Conclusion, in my opinion is that 1950 was better than 1910 because more opportunities appeared, the houses became bigger. Sherman Park and more market were built
