The maps below show the centre of a small town called Islip as it is now, and plans for its development. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first picture displays the current layout of Islip town
centre
, and the second picture illustrates some proposed changes in the future. As can be seen, a pedestrian zone is planned to be constructed, and a new
road
for vehicles is planned to frame
this
area
.
Additionally
, there are proposals for more modern facilities and housing. Looking at the information in more detail on the current map, the town
centre
is developed around a main
road
, which stretches from west to east. There are many shops to the north and south of the
road
.
While
the
area
to the north is mainly countryside, a large
area
to the south is occupied by housing. Moving on to the predictions, a circular
road
that surrounds the city
centre
attracts attention.
This
road
, expected to be built, is a dual carriageway. The middle section of the main
road
is projected to be pedestrianised. Shops in
this
area
are planned to be demolished and replaced by a shopping
centre
, a bus station, and a car park,
along with
a housing
area
forecasted to be introduced.
