1Hi, Professor Lane, I wanted to ask about the field trip for our urbanisation module.

2Of course; we had planned the coastal visit, but the logistics proved too complicated.

3So we're visiting the new suburban development on the eastern edge instead?

4Exactly, and you'll be surveying residents about their daily commuting habits there.

5I assumed the questionnaire would focus on housing costs rather than transport.

6That was the original design; we revised it after the pilot survey last month.

7Will we also analyse the satellite images you mentioned in the lecture?

8Yes, though the analysis workshop has been moved from Tuesday to Wednesday afternoon.

9One more thing: should our report compare this suburb with the city centre?

10Compare it with the older industrial district, not the centre; the contrast is sharper.

11Understood; I'll email the group tonight so everyone knows about the changes.
