area

of Islip town.

Overall

, the principal development of the city will be the construction of a ring

road

around the centre. Various other developments with regard to new housing sites and shopping

centers

will accompany the building of

this

road

. As the first map reveals, the current centre of Islip town is relatively small. Access to the infrastructure is highly dependent on the main

road

, with shops on both sides. The northern

area

contains countryside,

while

the southern part is mainly functioned for housing. At the southwest, the main

road

formed a fork to provide access for school at the southwest.

Furthermore

, a park is located

at the end

of the southeast

area

. In the future, the main

road

is expected to reform into a round, dual-carriageway

road

containing all of the new buildings. The countryside and shops along the north side will be repurposed into a bus station, shopping centre, and a new housing

area

.

On the other hand

, the previous main

road

will be allocated to make a way for pedestrians.

In addition

, the shops along the south side of the

road

will remain, but the size of the park will be reduced to construct a new housing

area

next to the park.
