For the design of the website inspiration has been taken by old projects made by former students of this course, mainly the websites of the groups 4, 10 and 12. The data has been processed in RStudio with the tools offered by the tidyverse library. The map was created in ArcGIS Pro and with the ArcGIS Pro WebAppBuilder. The 3 graphic diagrams have been made with Visme.
