🗺️ GeoPandas: geographic analysis without the hassle
Spatial data analysis is becoming increasingly important, but it’s often avoided because it can be complex 😅
GeoPandas extends pandas to work easily with geographic data.
✨ What makes it so useful?
- 📐 Spatial operations like intersections, unions and buffers
- 🗂️ Supports common formats: Shapefiles, GeoJSON and PostGIS databases
- 📊 Lets you create maps and visualizations by integrating with matplotlib
🧠 Explained for beginners:
If you already know how to use pandas, GeoPandas lets you analyze maps and locations almost like a normal table, but with “geometry” (points, lines and polygons). That way you can answer questions like what is inside what or which areas overlap.
🌍 Ideal for data projects, urban science, logistics and territorial analysis.
