[OSM-talk] Visualizing "Places"

Hey! I inadvertently made a cool graph that I thought I would share. I'm interested in places - country/state/province/city relations, airports, ferry terminals, place=suburb kind of stuff. Some places have "is_in" tags, but the vast majority don't. I wondered if I could compute what they s

I don't think that numeric values of admin_level > 2 was intended to be at roughly the same level of "importance" or "prominence" across countries. Individual countries are free to specify how their admin_level values correspond to their admin units. Otherwise, a building in the Vatican City (not t
