5. Address the following:
   1. List issues and solutions (if any).

I encountered no particular issues.

2. Which site did you prefer and why?

I significantly preferred the CUGIR website, as its search functionality was both more responsive, and understandable.

3. Any insights about datasets, or the local area?

Seeing how the design of the RIT campus has changed over the past 50 years was fascinating to see.

4. Brief on possible final project ideas.

Potentially, using information from the Microsoft building list, a map of potential food deserts could be designed.
