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

The given maps perfectly depict the changes a small town, namely Islip, will face.

Overall

it is evident that more public facilities will be provided

in addition

to enhanced access to different parts of the town thanks to constructing a dualcarriage way. In terms of the northern side of the map, the row of shops located just to the north of the main road,

coupled with

the countryside near it, would be replaced with a bus station, shopping centre, car park , and a new residential area. Southwards to

this

area, there is a main road, which will be demolished to make way for building a path only for pedestrians.

Instead

, the road will be expanded vertically before reaching the centre, to cover the whole space. As far as the southern part of the area is concerned,

while

the current housing place next to the shops will remain, a new one will be introduced right to the east of it.

However

,

this

introduction requires minimizing the park right next to the housing.

Lastly

, the school and the housing near it will be separated from the centre by the southern carriageway.
