The maps below show the center 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 top diagram presents the current modern-day view of the Islip city center, and directly below the subsequent future proposal for growth and expansion. This report will highlight similarities and differences. Past and present common elements, albeit in different measure, include housing, shops, a school, and a park. Noticeable newly planned changes include a shopping center, carriageway, and bus station. The current living quarters sit immediately north and south of the park, however, the future master-plan incorporates four sets of housing: southwest of the shops, adjacent to the park, to the right of the car park, and right of the school below the carriageway. Not only with the future housing alter but also the presently situated park will shrink approximately by half and the new center will only have shops south of the main road. Although the school will become slightly more extensive, the location will remain unchanged. In the coming years, new additions will include a dual carriageway constructed all around the town center with one entrance or exit feeding directly into the new housing unit. Another developmental proposal highlights a brand new bus station and shopping center located in the northwest corner above the new pedestrian sidewalk, but below the carriageway. On a final note, the designers will implement the elimination of the upper row of shops, and replace them with a car park that is in-between the shopping center and new housing.
