The given maps illustrate the differences between a town in 1995 and the present day.
Overall, the town of Bournemouth has witnessed dramatically changes since 1995, with many green spaces replaced by new infrastructure to meet the demands of a growing population and increased tourism.
In the northeast of Bournemouth, farmland has been transformed into a lake, while the central forest park has been replaced by expanded housing, indicating significant urban expansion. In the southwest, the fish market near the sea has been demolished to build apartments, though the fishing port nearby remains operational. In the central-south area, the shop west of the hotel has been converted into a restaurant, and a car park and tennis court have been newly constructed to the east of the hotel. Meanwhile, the hotel and cafe, positioned opposite each other, remain unchanged, preserving some of the town’s original character.
