A school has been raised in the center of the town with lots of shops all around. At the top right-hand corner, an airport has been constructed, near a small portion of forest and some flats at the top of the shops. In addition, the huge farmland has been restricted to a small area in order to allow the place for some apartments and a house lifts up. there has also been a surge in the number of arteries between buildings than the 1970 model.
