I'm prepping a transit-corridor study for the Cape Town metro, and I need a class-level summary of `landuse` so the team's spatial-SQL notebooks can join it against the bus-route table. Can you give me one row per landuse class with the geometry unified into a single MultiPolygon, the total area in m², and the count of source parcels that fed in? Please write the result to `landuse_dissolved.geoparquet` with `class`, `area_m2`, and `parcel_count` columns.
