Shapefiles and maps

In this task you would be creating maps (using Python). Most of the maps that you see online are created using shapefiles. There are different types of shapefiles including, green-cover, water bodies and roads. You can download all the relevant shapefiles from https://extract.bbbike.org/ for any city that you want.

Now, to plot the shapefiles, you would need the geopandas library. With the geopandas library installed, you can read the shapefile, and plot it using the plot function.

Plot the shapefiles for 5 cities.

Please provide the github link consisting of the source code along with the maps that you've created.
