Question 1

• Read the towns ('muni_il.shp') layer (see Sample data).

• Aggregate the towns layer according to the 'Muni_Eng' column, to dissolve the separate polygons per town (see Aggregation (.dissolve)).

• Choose a city that starts with the same English letter as your first name (e.g., 'Metula' if your first name is Michael).

• Create a subset of the towns layer which includes the neighbors of (i.e., intersecting with) the town you selected.

• Plot the resulting layer, using different colors for the selected town and for the neighbors.

• Note that you cannot specify any specific town names or indices other than the string with the name of the selected town (e.g., 'Metula').

Question 2

• Calculate tree density, i.e., number of trees per \(km^2\) (\(1 / km^2\) units), in statistical areas of Beer-Sheva ('statisticalareas_demography2019.gdb') based on tree records in 'trees.csv'.

• Plot the density values using the 'Reds' colormap (cmap='Reds') with a legend (legend=True).
