geojson-world-cities

This repo provides a geojson file for city boundaries around the world. Free to use for any project.

About the dataset

• The data is sourced from http://www.vdstech.com/world-data.aspx and converted with http://ogre.adc4gis.com/.
• There are 37,372 cities with defined Polygon boundaries with the precision of 5 decimal points (about 1 meter), although accuracy of the data (how well the polygons define the real-world city boundaries) varies greately.
• Each polygon is only identifiable by city NAME, from no particular standard. There are many cities with the same name. (eg there are 11 SPRINGFIELDs and 2 MOSCOWs), either due to duplication or because they are located in different counties/states.
• Cities with NAME = null were removed by @ilyankou.
