bookExploring GeoDataFrames

A GeoDataFrame is a specialized data structure that allows you to work with both geometric information and associated attribute data in a tabular format. It extends the familiar DataFrame concept by adding a geometry column, which stores geometric shapes such as points, lines, or polygons. Alongside geometry, each row can contain multiple attribute columns that describe properties of each spatial feature, such as name, population, or land use type. This structure enables you to query, analyze, and visualize geospatial data efficiently.
