Concat multiple shapefiles via geopandas

Question

I\'m trying to combine multiple shapefiles by implementing the follwing:

import geopandas as gpd
import pandas as pd

for i in range(10,56):
    interesting_file         


        

Answer 1

If using pandas.concat like the answer of @Paul H, some geographical imformation such as coordinate reference system(crs) does not get preserved by default. But it worked when using the way like below:

import os
import geopandas as gpd

file = os.listdir("Your folder")
path = [os.path.join("Your folder", i) for i in file if ".shp" in i]

gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame(pd.concat([gpd.read_file(i) for i in path], 
                        ignore_index=True), crs=gpd.read_file(path[0]).crs)

In this way, the geodataframe will have CRS as your need
