City2Graph: A Python library for Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks and spatial analysis in urban systems [R]
Introducing City2Graph, a novel Python library designed to transform urban geospatial data into analysis-ready heterogeneous graphs. Recently published in *Computers, Environment and Urban Systems*, City2Graph streamlines workflows for spatial analysis and Graph Neural Networks, converting data from OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps, and GTFS feeds. It facilitates morphological, transport, mobility, and proximity analyses, offering seamless conversion between GeoDataFrames, NetworkX, and PyTorch Geometric.
Google Maps adds agentic features, including food ordering and hotel bookings
Google Maps is evolving beyond simple navigation, now incorporating agentic features like food ordering and hotel bookings. This signifies Google’s ambition to transform the platform into a comprehensive assistant, capable of facilitating real-world task completion. Users can now seamlessly integrate everyday actions directly within the familiar Maps interface. This expansion reflects a broader shift toward AI-powered utility, echoing the challenges of turning platforms into genuinely useful products, as explored in our article, "From Projects to Products."
