Overview of this book

Data scientists, when presented with a myriad of data, can often lose sight of how to present geospatial analyses in a meaningful way so that it makes sense to everyone. Using Python to visualize data helps stakeholders in less technical roles to understand the problem and seek solutions. The goal of this book is to help data scientists and GIS professionals learn and implement geospatial data science workflows using Python. Throughout this book, you’ll uncover numerous geospatial Python libraries with which you can develop end-to-end spatial data science workflows. You’ll learn how to read, process, and manipulate spatial data effectively. With data in hand, you’ll move on to crafting spatial data visualizations to better understand and tell the story of your data through static and dynamic mapping applications. As you progress through the book, you’ll find yourself developing geospatial AI and ML models focused on clustering, regression, and optimization. The use cases can be leveraged as building blocks for more advanced work in a variety of industries. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to tackle random data, find meaningful correlations, and make geospatial data models.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The PyProj package is useful when working with cartographic projections and geodetic transformations.”

A block of code is set as follows:

world_ae = world.to_crs("ESRI:54032")
graticules_ae = grat.to_crs("ESRI:54032")

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

patients = 150 # number of demand points represented as patients
medical_centers = 4 # number of service points represented as medical centers

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "We've called ours VRP Project. Select this project and scroll down to Enabled APIs. Then, select Directions API and click Enable. "
