The two maps illustrate how a Spanish
city
 named Castellon has changed since 2000. Overall, it is noticeable that
this
city
 has been modernized and upgraded with a range of new transports, shopping and entertainment facilities.
To begin
 with, the most obvious improvements to transport facilities are the building of a tram line that connected the
city
 centre with the university. While there is a relocation of the station recently, the police station takes over its original site. It is
also
 remarkable that bike-rental scheme is introduced to the centre and a new airport in the eastern area is under construction.
However
, other facilities have
also
 increased substantially over these years. The new hall of residence was constructed to the east side of the
city
 while the trees are all cut down to make room for a new shopping centre. New shops are
also
 built in the west of the
city
, while the old market is moving to the east and turned into a new covered market. Looking at the port area, it can be seen that it has been pedestrianized, and cinemas, bars and clubs are built there to offer entertainment.
