The image presents two diagrams labeled "Islip town centre now" and "Islip town centre planned development." The current layout includes a straight road from west to east, with housing and a school to the south, three parallel rows of four shops each in the center running parallel to the road, and a park to the southeast. The planned development involves transforming the road into a circular dual carriageway with designated areas inside the circle for a bus station in the northwest, a shopping center in the middle, a car park in the northeast, and new housing areas to the north and southeast. Shops remain central in two rows parallel to the shopping center, with pedestrian access only. Housing and the park remain in the south and southeast, respectively, with the school still located southwest outside the carriageway.

The maps illustrate the changes in the layout of Islip town center between 2010 and 2015. Overall, the area underwent a complete transformation, with the addition of new facilities and more housing.
In 2010, a main road ran from east to west across the center of Islip, flanked by two rows of stores. To the north of this road was a rural area, while two parallel housing areas were located to the south. A school stood to the left of these houses, and a park was situated to the right. Both were connected to the main road by side roads.
Five years later, the most notable change was the construction of a highway encircling the town. The main street was converted into a pedestrian precinct, and the stores to its north were demolished. In their place, a bus stop and a parking lot were built, with a newly constructed shopping mall in the middle. Near the shopping mall, a new housing area was also built, accessible via a minor road from the divided highway. More housing appeared to the south of the pedestrian zone as well. The park was reduced in size to accommodate this development, while the school on the left remained unchanged.
