GeoSpatial Data Project

TODO's

You recently created a new company in the GAMING industry. The company will have the following scheme:

As a data engineer you have asked all the employees to show their preferences on where to place the new office. Your goal is to place the new company offices in the best place for the company to grow. You have to find a place that more or less covers all the following requirements (note that it's impossible to cover all requirements, so you have to prioritize at your glance):

How to approach it

Notice you'll have to do two things:

  1. Query the database
  2. Use an API to get venues (and for this, you'll need a starting point; some coordinates from which you will call the API)
  3. Justify your decision using data, not just visualization. How? Maybe measuring distances, maybe assinging weights depending on the importance of your criteria, maybe calculating the density of schools/Starbucks, etc.

There is a couple of ways you can do this:

Option A

From the existing companies, choose one to steal their current venue 🥷: query and filter the database based on some of your criteria. Then use an API to do queries (from those companies) and check the companies' surroundings to check the other criteria.

Your result will be coordinates.

Option B

Choose three cities that exist in your database. From these cities, query and filter the database according to any other criteria if necessary. Then, make API calls to see if the rest of your criteria are met. Then, compare the three cities. Are any of them better than the other two? Using data, justify why.

Once you chose the city, what would be an approximate location?

Your result will be a city and a neighbourhood/zip code or adress/coordinates.

Option C

Be creative. But remember: always try to follow a general-to-specific approach and base your decisions always using data.

BONUS

You found a perfect location for your company: but it's either taken by another company or there's too many options in the city you chose. After all, a whole city is not too specific.

Web scrape real state sites 🏠 to get the best prices and choose a neighbourhood, a block or an adress.
