The maps below show the centre of a small town called Islip as it is now, and plans for its development.

The maps show the future plan of development that has taken place in Islip over a period of time. Presently, Islip's town centre is organized with shops lining both sides of the main

road

that runs horizontally through the town. To the north of the main

road

lies the countryside,

while

to the south, there is housing.

Additionally

, a school is located on the southwestern, and a park is situated on the eastern side, next to more housing. The most notable change is the introduction of a dual carriageway on the western side of the town, replacing part of the current

road

system. A bus station and shopping centre are to be added in the northwest area, improving transportation and commercial facilities. The main

road

through the middle is planned to be pedestrianized, creating a pedestrian-only zone surrounded by shops. Additional housing is planned with new housing developments replacing some countryside to the north and extending existing housing areas to the south. A car park is

also

arranged near the shopping centre. The park remains in the same location

although

its area will be reduced.
