Map making in R

The focus of the workshop is twofold: to learn cartography principles for generating single and multivariable choropleth maps, and explore functionalities of R for generating static and interactive web maps. We will use the COVID19 data available at (https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data) and combine it with information from Census and other sources to visualize spatial patterns and make maps. Participants should be proficient in R and vector data GIS.
