About this course
In this course, you will build and publish a thoughtful and effective map style in Mapbox Studio, taking advantage of Mapbox Studio’s design and accessibility tools. Next, you’ll see how to implement a customized Mapbox Studio style in an interactive web map using no-code, low-code, and robust code solutions. You’ll build a map of subway station accessibility in New York City that uses spatial analysis to return aggregated numbers by neighborhood, and publish the map online using best practices in geographic data storytelling to communicate effectively about spatial considerations.
Skills you'll gain
Build a thoughtful aesthetic for a data-driven map using Mapbox Studio’s styling and accessibility tools
Add UI features to enhance a geographic data story
Customize templated code to work for your Mapbox credentials and your data sources
Build your map using Mapbox GL JS or a third party option
Perform spatial analysis using an external library

Mapbox Styling for London Bikeshare Usage
In this project, we will make a static map style of bicycle share availability across London. A bicycle share is a form of public transport that allows users to pick up a bike at one location in a city and return it at another. Because bicycles are not always returned to the same station, bikes may become scarce in some locations and overabundant in others. It's a problem that can be solved and managed by understanding which stations have too many or too few bikes, and when. We’ll map bike stations and city post codes, which are a common way of referencing areas of the city. Bike station locations are conditionally styled based on station fullness, creating a map that highlights bike stations with less than 10% of their bicycles docked and available for use. This is the first part of a two-part project. - practice Project

We will add popups for more information and optional spatial analysis to identify high-priority areas for further investigation into bike share management. This is the second part of a two-part project.
