The diagram indicates how the Lakeside site transformed during 9-year span, between 2000 and 2009 .
As an overall trend, it is evident that the recorded zone experienced several huge innovations, with the most noticeable from the mitigation of green place to the expansion of industrial cluster with enormous new-built facilities.
At the first glance, it reveals that initially, the wood-forest stretched from North-east areas to identical South-east site, and such woodland consisted of a lake that cut across the map. Whereas the a significant portion of residential amenities put in the opposite site to the green zone, a block of accommodation located alone in the South of the image, similar to the cluster of industry which stood in the centre of the given site.
Turning to the recent map, it clearly to discern that the factory complex underwent a major extension led to both the decrease of woodland and the elimination of a residential block. Furthermore, the Lake was converted into a pond albeit remaining intact the water flow. The North-west residential section displayed a constant pattern, so did school despite the birth of car park from the derelict warehouses’ prior section. By stark contrast, the other residential one removed in order to make room for the marketplace. The building of art centre and previous town were set aside for multi-screen cinema , offices and university, respectively.
