Summary

I led a hands-on workshop for R-Ladies Ottawa on creating custom city maps using open-source geospatial tools in R. The session covered fundamentals of geospatial analysis, focusing on vector data structures and map projections. Participants learned to query OpenStreetMap data via osmdata and design minimalist prints using sf and ggplot2.
