Title:
World Urban Centers Latitude/Longitude Database
Source:
Unknown
Description:
This is a database containing the latitude
and longitude of worldwide urban centers along with
some additional information.
While there are approximately 50,000 entries in this
database, it is not a comprehensive compilation.
Regional and national capitols seem to be well
represented but not necessarily all large urban
centers.
The emphasis in this database seems to be that of
having a wide geographic distribution of urban centers.
Also note that all place names appear in the native
language of the country (i.e. spellings may not be what
you think).
The data is one line per urban center and is in the following format:
Ropczycel|1|PL|3|21.6166819854413|50.05000039017145
Field 1:"Ropczycel" is the name of the urban center
Field 2:type of center, 1=non-capitol, 2=regional capitol, 3=national capitol
Field 3:Country Code (e.g. PL=Poland)
Field 4:Population in 1,000s (0=not available or less than 1000)
Field 5:Longitude in decimal degrees
Field 6:Latutude in decimal degrees
