Interactive Map of European Countries and Capitals using R This project demonstrates how to create a clean, detailed, and interactive map of Europe using R. The map highlights country boundaries and their respective capital cities using spatial data and web mapping libraries. Built using: {leaflet} – for interactive web mapping {sf} – for handling spatial vector data {rnaturalearth} & {rnaturalearthdata} – for retrieving geospatial datasets {dplyr} – for data wrangling Key Features: Country polygons styled with subtle colors and interactive popups Capital cities marked with red circular markers and tooltips Hover highlights for better interactivity Legend for clarity Fully compatible with RStudio Viewer and exportable as an HTML widget Why this matters: This project is a great starting point for anyone interested in GIS, data visualization, or web mapping using open-source tools in R. It’s ideal for students, researchers, and professionals in geography, urban planning, or environmental science.

This report presents an interactive map created in R using the leaflet and sf packages. It visualizes all African countries and highlights their capital cities with clickable labels.
