The following two maps show the development of a coastal city from 1950 to 2007. 

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. 

The two maps illustrate the changes of a coastal city between 1950 and 2007. We can see clearly that the city became more and more modern. 

1n 1950, the city was like a small village, with vast grassland areas all over the city. There was a sea in the north of this city, with a park to the west. In front of the park, there was a big building area where things were under construction. By that time, three large areas were all grasslands, with a cross road dividing them. 

However, when it comes to 2007, things experienced significant changes. A new apartment had been built where the park was, and the original building areas were converted into industry buildings such as parks, parking lots and swimming pools. The most obvious changes were that the former grasslands disappeared, becoming cinemas in the southwest, shops in the southeast, and houses in the northeast. On the north side, although the sea was still there, a wharf was built in it so people could travel more easily by sea. 

Finally, although there was still a cross road in the city, the horizontal road was moved to the south. By doing so, industry buildings and houses could be left more places to develop. Anyway, the city had experienced tremendous changes throughout the 57-year period.
