The given charts depict two different ways of protection for homes which are at risk of being flooded, and both of the houses are raised above ground level. The main difference between the two protection plans is whether there is a stopbank or not In the first diagram, the function of a stopbank as a barrier against flooding from nearby rivers is illustrated. This barrier, depicted as a mound near a drain/river, exceeds the predicted height of a 100-year flood. Additionally, the houses can be built on stilts to prevent flooding from rainwater, and there is a floodgate beneath the stopbank opened to allow the internal winding to drain off into the river. In contrast, the second illustration portrays the dire consequences of a house lacking such protection, directly exposed to overflowing water. In this case, buildings are also raised on stilts. The height of the stilts is 300mm above the 100-year flood level which is called freeboard. This measurement can secure the house against the flood.

The vast majority people believe on constructing stylish buildings to live in while many suggest to keep the ancient buildings. Ancient buildings send message to the new generation on what did look like and their behaviors.
There are many reasons to illustrate on how the old buildings are important for the new generations. First of all, the ancient buildings are made by our ancestors and I personally believe that we should have a look their imaginations and constructing buildings. Second of all, to see the constructing historic buildings make us more creative persons in our live to make even better buildings for the generations ahead.
On the other hand, new constructions can be an innovative model. If I point it out to some example, the connection of people in highly raised buildings are more simplified than the old ones. For instance, the high raised buildings are more proper for the economy and population. Office workers can be easily contacted.
Consequently, office workers and city dwellers do not waste the connection time. Many people are also happy to manage their things closely in office and it’s definitely preventing by going for away from on office to another.

The map illustrates the main developments in the town of Springer from 1970 until the present time. Overall, a multitude of arrangements and amenities changed the city's landscape in the aforementioned fifty-year period. In 1970 the pueblo consisted of a wide forest landscape with a large farmland and only a few constructions, especially 2 houses and one shop. However, Springer Town did dramatically change throughout the decades. Indeed, we notice that diverse facilities were developed at the expense of the wide forest. A school has been erected 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 room for some apartment buildings and a house. There has also been a surge in the number of streets and avenues between buildings than the 1970 model. Even though, we can still notice some green spaces kept from the previous forest, especially a band of Greenland alongside- the west town. To conclude, the town of Springer changed drastically from 1970 to nowadays, moving from a rural to an urban area.
