In the north-west, most of the trees were cut down, and in the south-west the bicycle track was
converted into a roadway. In the center of the city, the post office, bank and library remained, while
in the northern section, the candy store and butchers shop were converted into a supermarket. A
shopping center was constructed in the center of the downtown, replacing most of the open space
there. There used to be a flower shop in the southern part, but it was then redeveloped into a travel
agent.

Body 2:
East side
In the north-east of the downtown area, the river was turned into a lake, which was accompanied
by a large residential area being built on its shore. Meanwhile, the south-east of the town also
witnessed significant changes, with the government offices being transformed into a museum and
the farmland becoming a golf course.
