The map gives information about the current layout of the centre of a small town Islip and it

also

illustrates the development plan of the same. Overall, it can be depicted that major changes will occur on the northern

side

of the town, while the southern

side

does not face as many changes. As can be seen in the diagram, the shops on the northern

side

will be replaced by a bus station, shopping centre, car park and new housing .

On the other hand

, the main road will be converted into a dual carriageway which will

also

replace the countryside and the middle area will be restricted to pedestrians only.

Similarly

, the shops which are located on the southern

side

of the area restricted for pedestrians will remain unchanged and the land for park and school will decrease and increase respectively, by making slight changes in the location of housing a new housing will be constructed near the park.
