The Secret City Zones Hidden In Our Urban Maps

In this video, we're going to dive into the world of urban data and explore how to map urban area types using the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) dataset. By leveraging the power of R programming and spatial analysis, we'll uncover valuable insights into the built environment and visualize the data in a way that tells a story. From understanding urbanization patterns to identifying areas of growth and development, this video will show you how to harness the potential of data visualization and geospatial mapping to gain a deeper understanding of urban areas. Whether you're an urban planner, data analyst, or simply someone interested in urban insights, this video is for you. So, let's get started and see what insights we can uncover!
