The given illustrations delineate the alterations that have been made to a city since the year of 1950.
Overall, it is apparent that this city has experienced several major changes, with the most remarkable one being the expansion of its residential area and business district. Besides, the current total population has risen tenfold compared with that of 1950.
In detail, the number of inhabitants in this city has surged from 20,000 to 200,000 people in more than seven decades. During this period, the residential region, which was initially located in the north of the city only, has been enlarged and covered all the major roads, surrounding the key business district as well. Similarly, this trading area, once located in the center of the plan, has significantly expanded over the years in question and is now divided by the city river. The separated areas of this district are linked via an old bridge and a new one.
As regards the river, the majority of it has now been converted into a sizeable lake, with a newly-built dam situated at one end. Besides, new roads have also been added to the road system as in 1950, there were only 2 main ones crossing each other, while now there has been one more in junction with these two roads. The city airport has also been enlarged and another government building has been constructed in the south of the city, in addition to the old one near the river, which has been resized.
