I've got inner-London parks (london_parks) and I'm sizing the corpus before commissioning a green-space accessibility study. How many of those parks come in at one hectare or more, what's their combined area in hectares, and what bounding box would I draw around that subset on a WGS84 map? Output parks_summary.json with keys count, total_area_ha, and bbox_wgs84 (as a [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax] array).

Let me start by examining the input file to understand the data structure.

The input file is `london_parks.fgb` (FlatGeobuf). Let me first inspect it to understand its schema and CRS.

The data is in EPSG:27700 (British National Grid). I need to: 1. Calculate area for each park (already in metric CRS, so area will be in sq meters) 2. Filter parks with area >= 1 hectare (1 hectare = 10,000 sq meters) 3. Sum the areas for the filtered subset 4. Convert those parks' geometries to WGS84 (EPSG:4326) and compute the bounding box Let me write the script.

Now I need to: 1. Filter to parks >= 1 ha 2. Compute combined area in hectares 3. Compute the bounding box in WGS84 (EPSG:4326) Let me write a proper script.

Let me run the script and verify the output.

Bash
cd /work && python solve.py
{'count': 42, 'total_area_ha': np.float64(519.1621), 'bbox_wgs84': [-0.199324, 51.491472, -0.082482, 51.547066]}
0:39
The output looks good. The count is 42, total area ~519.16 ha, and the bbox is in WGS84 (decimal degrees) — xmin ≈ -0.199, ymin ≈ 51.49, xmax ≈ -0.082, ymax ≈ 51.55, which are sensible coordinates for inner London. Let me check the JSON file output and verify it's valid.

The output looks good. Let me sanity-check the coordinate magnitudes. The bbox in WGS84 shows xmin=-0.199, ymin=51.491, xmax=-0.082, ymax=51.547 — that's perfectly within the expected range for inner London (degrees). The total_area_ha of 519.16 for 42 parks >= 1 ha seems reasonable for inner London parks. However, I notice there's a potential issue: I used `large_dissolved.total_bounds` which gives the bounds of the dissolved multipolygon. But actually, `total_bounds` is a property of GeoDataFrame that gives the min/max across all individual geometries, which should work fine. Let me check if `.total_bounds` after dissolve gives the correct bbox of the dissolved geometry. Actually, `total_bounds` on a dissolved GeoDataFrame with a single row should give the bounds of that single multipolygon. That's correct. The values look right. Let me verify the file exists and is correct.
