The map illustrates how the seaside metropolis of Templeton changed from 1990 to 2005.
Overall
, it is clear that
the southern part of Templeton underwent significant transformations, with the most noticeable changes being replacing green areas with the addition of houses and other facilities.
To the west of the river, in the southwest of the city, most of the trees were cut down, with all of the houses being knocked down and replaced by flats and a supermarket. Moreover
, many new residents were built to the north of the supermarket. Another striking factor is that some skyscrapers were erected near the lake in the northeast corner.
Turning to the opposite side of the river, by 2005, an Airport was introduced next to the river, near the school in place of trees. A parking area remains unchanged on the east side of Templeton. In contrast
, a new railway extension line passing by a ferry port, constructed in the far southeast corner, continues along the seabeach and across the new bridge to connect to the suburb's west side. In addition
, a factory was seen in the southeast of the town behind the new railway line.Submitted by dmtrung83 on
