Thanks. This is great. In the end, if we agree to go this way -- i.e. setting aside some cities according to an agreed upon set of characteristics -- we need to find a credible list to work from.

In addition to what you have posted here, we might also be able to use this list of large cities http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/urbanization/the_worlds_cities_in_2016_data_booklet.pdf  (which is derived from a larger database) and World Population Sources https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/

Hello,

 

I'm sure there is a lot of big data resources available.  Below are a few datasets that I hope provide some insight into what is available.    

 

 

 

 

"This document aims to help decision makers (from governments, data producers, national coordination bodies, etc.) to define their policy regarding the improvement of existing data and production of new geospatial data. It addresses digital data".

 

Big data is also used to create a lot of mapping functionality as another resource i.e. Google maps.

If there is a list of some requirements/ideas that might be useful, I’m happy to help in finding a dataset and if needed, putting the data into a useable format so it can be reviewed to see it is fits our purposes.

 

Cheers,

 

Christa

I repeatedly see this claim made

 

   In the age of big data that should be simple. [Finding Cities geo names etc.]

 

Any facts to back this up?
