## Import shapefiles

Let's start by opening a shapefile. Shapefiles are a common file format to store spatial vector data used in GIS software. We will read a shapefile with the administrative boundary of Delft with the function `st_read()` from the `sf` package.
Let's start by opening a shapefile. Shapefiles are a common file format to store spatial vector data used in GIS software. Note that a shapefile consists of multiple files and it is important to keep them all together in the same location. We will read a shapefile with the administrative boundary of Delft with the function `st_read()` from the `sf` package.

boundary_Delft <- st_read("data/delft-boundary.shp", quiet = TRUE)
