The given maps illustrates the development of Liverton since 1980 from being a river port to being an urban area with various facilities to accommodate its citizen. Overall, most of the changes involve with the removal, repurpose, or construction of different buildings and infrastructures on either bank of the river.
In 1980, Liverton was a bustling port with warehouses and cranes situated on both sides of the river. They were built in pairs of a warehouse and a crane for ease of loading goods on and off ships, with two such pairs on the north bank and one on the south bank. Multiple ships were present at any given time on the river, resulting in relatively high traffic in the region.
However, Liverton has undergone a dramatic transition into an urban area, leaving behind little traces of its former form. On the northern side, the western storage was replaced by an education center while the accompanying crane was removed for the construction of a sailing club. The remaining warehouse-crane pair was also demolished to make space for the kid’s playground. On the opposite bank, the newly constructed infrastructure replacing the old storage are mostly accommodation buildings with a hotel an an apartment complex located next to each other. There are also parking spaces on the eastern side and a river walk, connecting all of the mentioned facilities, leading to a bridge next to the eastern dam, linking the two banks. The space on the river created due to a lack of traffic are used for a ship museum.
