The City of Toronto has an Open Data Portal that was first founded in the fall of 2009. I decided to search through it and found a GEOJSON file containing the boundaries of City of Toronto Neighborhoods. This file contained a lot of information including the names, areas, longitude, latitude and geometry of the 150 neighborhoods in the City of Toronto.
FROM GEOJSON TO GEOPANDAS:
Using Python, I converted the GEOJSON file to a GEOPANDAS dataframe. The geometry column stores the boundaries or coordinates of each of the 150 neighborhoods as Polygons. I was able to generate a plot of all 150 neighborhoods. I also took it one step further and annotated each neighborhood with its corresponding name. The following is the annotated plot of the 150 neighborhoods in the City of Toronto obtained from the GEOJSON file found in Toronto's Open Data Portal.
