The diagram shows the development of a particular area from 1995 to the present day
Task
The two maps show changes that have taken place in a region called Ashford from 1995 to the present day.
It is obvious that transportation between two banks of a river flowing through this area has developed significantly over the period shown. This area has become more densely- populated, with the mushrooming of houses and modern buildings.
In 1995, although there was a road running from east to west of this area, it did not go over the river, so dwellers in two sides of the river had to connect mostly by ferry. This area was also thinly populated, with some trees and houses in the north only.
Until now, people have two ways to go to the other bank of the river, either by a new road bridge upgraded from the old one or a newly-constructed foot bridge. On the western corner right on the bank of this river, trees have been all cut down and a spacious car park is now erected, together with a smaller one in the center and another in the south, to cater for the need of inhabitants there. In the northeast, houses and three high-rise apartments were built near the river, with a small road leading to this place. Furthermore, a yatch called Marina also emerge next to the southern car park.
