Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use LynxKite and graph data techniques to identify some of the most important geographic points in the city of Bruges. You’ll start by downloading and processing map data, and then use a simple Python program to convert it into a graph. You’ll use graph centrality metrics to quantify the importance of vertices in your graph, and determine some of Bruges’ important locations. You’ll then use the same structure to figure out the main areas of the city without using actual district data.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
