СпутникиРНSpaceXРоскосмосNASAOSM for Cities is a project that distributes open data about cities based on OpenStreetMap.
The goal is to make it easier for organizations, local groups, and professionals working on urban issues to access and monitor the data produced by the OSM community.
The idea originated while I was working on transportation planning projects, around the time I discovered OpenStreetMap in 2008. There was no official data coverage for roads and infrastructure, and an initial data collection phase was always necessary, data that was almost never reused once the project ended.
Today, the situation is somewhat different, and many large cities produce and publish their own data. But even cities with technical teams focus their resources on critical datasets and rarely manage to publish and keep up-to-date information on street furniture, tree cover, street lighting, and other specific elements that could inform public policy.
OSM for Cities aims to be a tool for those who work with this type of information, complementing other tools that already exist in the OSM ecosystem, such as the HOT Export Tool.
A unique feature of the project is that it allows users to search for any city in the world and view its data within its administrative boundaries, without requiring technical knowledge or data preparation. Simply search for the area’s name, choose a template—such as bus stops, schools, or trees—and the platform will render the data on a map.
You can also download this data in GeoJSON format and subscribe to receive email updates if the data is edited.
The project is open source and maintained by me in my spare time. Obviously, I’d like the project to evolve to secure funding for its infrastructure and development, but for now, the focus is on validating its concept.
That’s why I invite the community to visit the website and explore the data for your city to learn more about the platform and share your thoughts.
