Map (reference ← swipe → agent)

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 data to understand what we're working with. I'll look for the london_parks file in the working directory.

The data is in EPSG:27700 (British National Grid), which uses meters as units. So I can calculate area in square meters, convert to hectares (1 ha = 10,000 m²), filter those >= 1 ha, calculate total area, and get the bounding box in WGS84 (EPSG:4326).

The issue is that `transform` works differently with shapely geometries. I should use the `transform` method with the geometry directly, or use the `pyproj.Transformer.transform` with x, y coordinates. Let me fix this. Actually, for shapely geometries, I should use `pyproj.Transformer.transform` with the geometry as the third argument (after x, y). Or better, I can use the `bounds` approach with `total_bounds` and transform the corners. Let me use `geopandas` to reproject the subset to WGS84 and then get the total_bounds.

The output looks good. Let me verify the results make sense - 42 parks of 1 hectare or more in inner London, total area ~519 hectares, and the bbox covers roughly central London (around -0.199 to -0.082 longitude, 51.491 to 51.547 latitude), which seems reasonable. Let me confirm by checking a few more details.
