The maps below show the center of a small town called Islip as it is now, and plans for its development

The two maps compare the layout of now and planned development in the centre of a small town named Islip.

Overall

, the downtown will experience a significant change, with more facilities and infrastructure built and real estate added,

although

some buildings remain unchanged. Now, the town centre is divided by the main

road

, where there are two rows of shops on either side. And the countryside is located in the north. Apart from housing areas in the heart, a park sits in the eastern part

that is

connected with the main

road

from the eastern end and a school located in the southwestern is

also

linked with the eastern end of the main

road

, through two dead-end roads respectively. In the future, the countryside and shops in the northern part will be replaced by a bus station, a shopping centre, a car park and new houses.

Furthermore

, the main

road

will be transformed for pedestrians only, and the size of old housing areas will be scaled down.

As a result

, the whole downtown of Islip will be surrounded by a dual carriageway, which links all places at Islip.

However

, the school is to be kept the same,

while

the park will be downsized,

thus

making way for the new housing and dual carriageway.
