We're actively looking for ideas on how to improve Weekly Challenges and would love to hear what you think!
Submit FeedbackA solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_of_Brazil
Did you know that Brazil is the largest country in South America? “Super legal!” you say to yourself em Português. Brazil is also an incredibly diverse country with many unique geographic regions. That’s why it’s a good idea to bring a map.
Unfortunately, the map I found is from 1920 and doesn’t show all 27 states (26 and the Federal District). Your task is to use the supplied data to update the map from the 22 existing states to include all 27.
Additionally, the capital moved from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia in 1960, so the updated state of Rio de Janeiro should regain the land occupied by the Federal District in the 1920 map.
Boa Sorte!
Not sure if purposeful but nice timing to reference Brazil with Carnaval going on right now!
Cheers from Rio de Janeiro!
Excelente desafio esta semana!
Here's my solution.
Step1: Process Federal District to merge with Rio
Step2: Remove parts of Old States that now belongs to New ones.
Step3: Combine all processed areas to generate final map.
I don't use spatial tools in my daily business, so it's usually a challenging task - but always interesting.
