The maps beneath illustrate how Meadowside village and Fonton, were developed between three different periods of time (1962, 1985 and the present).
Overall, a great transformation can be seen over the years, being Meadowside at the beginning an undeveloped area separated from the city and then an expanded zone with several new constructions.
Firsly, a lack of development in Meadowside can be observed. The village was totally secluded from Fonton, having only a small road running through it from southwest to the northeast, while Fonton had a rail line running through the northwest to the southeast of the city.
Subsequently, during 1985 there was a huge transformation in Meadowside. The most noticeable additions were the leisure center, housing state and super-store, as well as a new paved road connecting Fonton with the village. The leisure complex was located in the northeast, opposite to the housing state, whereas the super-store was located down the housing estate crossing the road.
Currently, the land has been expanded and Meadowside is now a suburb of Fonton. There is a new train station and therefore a new rail line that connects with the old one and goes to the city. A hotel and a business park have been built next to the train station, being the hotel on top of it and the business park underneath.
