A sort of masterplan of Emmen Zoo. This zoo is planning to move from the centre of the town to the edge were they already have a little expansion.

Dierenpark Emmen - Verbouwingswerkzaamheden (only in Dutch I'm afraid, but there are some pictures)

@okapikpr: awesome list of masterplans!! I'd seen some of them before, but it's always great to view maps of future developments. The Woodland Park Zoo's plan includes a multi-million dollar parking garage to alleviate the problem of a chronic lack of parking...but the garage was shot down by residents within the Seattle area. For now that idea is on the backburner.

Hopely this will explain a bit: Wikimapia - Let's describe the whole world!

On the right topcorner you see the present zoo in the centre of the town. On the left bottom you see the little expansion area. If you move your pointer over the large rectangular (called "geplande uitbreiding...") underneath the expansion area the new zoo area is lighted up in green.

The zoo will leave the center of the town (2015?)

NB: If you move you pointer over the little rectangular (called "olifanten") on the leftside of the expansion area you see the planned new elephants exhibit.
