Construct a GeoDataFrame from a DataFrame
In this exercise, you will construct a geopandas
GeoDataFrame from the Nashville Public Art DataFrame. You will need to specify the CRS and define a geometry. This will get you ready to spatially join the art data and the neighborhoods data in order to discover which neighborhood has the most art.
The Nashville Public Art data has been loaded for you as art
.

Instrucciones del ejercicio
- Print the
head()
of theart
data. - construct a geometry column in the
art
DataFrame using thegeopandas
points_from_xy()
method. - Build a GeoDataFrame using
art
and call itart_geo
. Setcrs
equal to theneighborhoods.crs
and set thegeometry
equal to the column you just created. - Print the
type()
ofart_geo
to verify it is a GeoDataFrame.
Ejercicio interactivo práctico
Prueba este ejercicio completando el código de muestra.
import pandas as pd
import geopandas as gpd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Print the first few rows of the art DataFrame
print(art.____())
# Create a geometry column in art
art['geometry'] = gpd.____(art.lng, art.lat)
# Create a GeoDataFrame from art and verify the type
art_geo = gpd.GeoDataFrame(art,
____ = neighborhoods.crs,
____ = art.geometry)
print(type(____))
