Cities borders data

Hi there,

I'm looking for data representing the geographical borders of the cities in North-Africa and Europe. If the data-set is larger than that it's good too. Does anybody know where to find this?

Kind regards,

Charlie

There are a few places you might look.

Your MyEsri page may list ESRI Boundaries among the available downloads, if you have access to it.
- Mind the terms of use!
Natural Earth
- May or may not be what you need depending on your project and the intended scale
- "Urban areas" aren't the same as the legally defined limit of a city, and is based more on population than civic incorporation
OpenStreetMap
- You can query out features based on the `admin_level` tag.
- Admin level can vary depending on country
- Try Overpass Turbo: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/12lH You can export the results in a format that ESRI tools can work with
- Really, really depends on the quality of the data, and might vary widely from region to region
