The plan presents how the Templeton seaside resort had changed from 1990 to 2005, with significant modifications being made to the resort’s layout.
Overall, the originally greener area was converted into a more urban area, with the majority of trees being cut down and replaced with residential and industrial properties. New landmarks and infrastructures were also constructed to fulfill the public’s need. Meanwhile, the low-density residential zones at the start of the period saw a shift towards their high-density counterparts.
In 1990, the resort comprised a major residential area in the west, all of which are located close to the river which divides the resort, flowing from north to south. On the other side of the river lies the public space that houses the majority of the resort’s facilities, including a school, a hospital, a railway station, and a public parking area.
By 2005, the area had dramatically changed, especially in its residential zone. The loosely-packed residential area has been replaced into a densely-packed one, although low-rise housing was also built. A major change on the west side of the river is the establishment of a large supermarket along with a new road that connects it to the local road. The west side however, only experienced minor changes. At a glance, houses were demolished here and there, along with trees being knocked down. An airport was constructed north along with a factory far from any citizens, both being near the river. An extension of the railway was built that stretches from the station in the far east all the way to the west end of the resort, running along the coastline.
