Overall

,

it is clear that

the plans depict significant changes in facilities, including the introduction of houses and public facilities, extending the roads, and relocating the factory and farmland. At present, the town is tranquil. Only eight factories exist, which surround the streets and roundabouts in the centre.

On the other hand

, there is farmland on the side of a long river in the north.

Conversely

, the area will become more lively in the future.

For instance

, some houses will be built to replace the factories, and the farmland will be moved. It will

also

establish common facilities

such

as shops, a medical centre, a large playground, and a school. Since those buildings are included in the development plan, they need to extend the roads. Later on, the roadway will

also

expand through the river. In conclusion,

instead

of an industrial area only, the town will be more human-friendly in the future.
