Overall
, the buildings in
this
area
are only for
factories
, but it is planned to be replaced by a residential
area
and other purposes
instead
in the future. Currently,
this
area
is surrounded by a main
road
in the south, farmland which is separated by a river in the north, and a town in the west. Walking from the main
road
, the only access here is through a roundabout that has 3
factories
in its surroundings. Going to the east side, there are 5 industrial
factories
on the left, right and the corner of the street.
However
, there will be an enormous change in the future. The main change is that all
factories
are going to be demolished and replaced by housing and public places. From the main
road
, a new roundabout will be built to connect the main
road
and the old roundabout. On the west side of the roundabout, there will be a shopping centre and a new
road
to get into some residential buildings. On the east side,
factories
will be converted into some housing areas, a playground and a school. Some parts of the Farmland will
also
be replaced by a housing
area
, so a bridge is going to be built to pass through the river.
Additionally
, a medical centre is planned to be built between the old and new roundabout.
