The maps compare how the town of Darwin changed between 2009 and 2014. Overall, there had been a shift towards residential development , with the introduction of several public buildings such as university, more apartment blocks, and green areas. Moreover, despite the apparently significant changes, certain key elements, such as swimming pools, school, and convention center, remained unchanged.
In 2009, industrial areas dominated the town, especially from the South-West to the center. There was a lake in an area surrounded by footpaths, with an industrial area situated to the left, a line of trees to the South and the convention center to the North opposite. Adjacent to the trees were three residential buildings. In addition, there were two main roads in the West and North, forming a junction near the North-West corner of the town, next to which was a school. Finally, two swimming pools and fishing area were located seafront in the East.
By 2014, the town had undergone several changes. The green area now covered the part of the town where the industrial area stood, with a footpath connecting the Western road with the newly built harbor to the East. While a new university building was established in the West, the number of residential buildings in the center doubled. A final change includes the disappearance of the industrial area near the lake as it had been replaced by a smaller swimming pool. Throughout these developments, the town maintained its essential amenities, such as the swimming pools, school, and convention center, which remained in their original locations.
