Now you'll find the center point of the urban_poly_3857 and plot it over the polygon.

This exercise is part of the course

Visualizing Geospatial Data in Python

Exercise instructions

Create downtown_center, from urban_poly_3857 using the GeoSeries centroid attribute.
Print the datatype of downtown_center.
Plot urban_poly_3857 as ax using lightgreen for the color.
Plot the downtown_center, setting ax = ax and color = black. The x-axis ticks are rotated for you. We've included the code to show the plot.

# Create downtown_center from urban_poly_3857
downtown_center = urban_poly_3857.____.____

# Print the type of downtown_center 
print(type(downtown_center))

# Plot the urban_poly_3857 as ax and add the center point
ax = ____.plot(color = 'lightgreen')
