The two maps illustrate how the Lakeside area changed between 2000 and 2009.
Overall, Lakeside experienced significant redevelopment, most notably the expansion of the industrial complex and the replacement of older buildings with modern facilities such as a shopping centre, car park, and university.
In 2000, the northern area contained derelict warehouses, which were replaced by a small car park by 2009. Nearby, an old school was demolished to make way for new offices, while additional land was used to construct a university. However, the school and residential area in the northwestern part remained unchanged.
In the western corner, a former residential area and arts centre were redeveloped into a shopping centre and a multi-screen cinema.
In the southeast, the industrial complex was expanded following the removal of housing and a reduction in woodland. A river running west to east continued to divide the area, though the surrounding woodland was reduced. Additionally, the lake was downsized and converted into a smaller pond.
