The maps illustrate the changes that have taken place in a city between 1950 and the present day.
Overall, the city has undergone substantial development, with significant expansion of residential areas, the construction of new infrastructure, and the transformation of natural features. The population has also increased considerably, reaching 200,000.
In 1950, the city was relatively small, with a residential area located to the north of the river and a business district situated to the south. A government building was positioned near the river, connected by a bridge. The transport network was limited, with only a few major roads, and the airport was located to the east of the city.
At present, the city has expanded dramatically in all directions. The residential area now covers a much larger portion of the city, extending both north and south of the river. The business district has also grown and occupies a central position. Notably, the river has been modified, with two lakes created along its course and a dam constructed to the east. In addition, the road network has been significantly developed, with more major roads connecting different parts of the city, while the airport remains in the same location.
