The maps below show an industrial area in the town of Norbiton, and planned future development of the site. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The two maps compare the layout of a

town

called Norbiton now and in the future with the second demonstrating the planned changes to the

town

.

Overall

, the Norbiton

town

is intended to transform into a residential area from an industrial region, with a considerable addition of housing and other facilities. It is immediately noticeable that contemporary factories will be converted into houses and apartments.

Additionally

, the road network will be significantly expanded, facilitating travel to and from the

town

. A new roundabout will be erected at the bottom of the map

while

two roads will be constructed, one leading to another housing area on the upper side of the river and the other going towards the far northwest corner of the

town

. Other facilities will

also

be added to the

town

along with

the new accommodation. To illustrate, some shops and a medical centre will be built around the central roundabout whilst a playground will be set up near the river on the northeast corner of the map and a school will emerge in the middle right area of the

town

.
