DESCRIPTION:OSM for Cities is a web platform that makes OpenStreetMap usabl
 e for anyone exploring a city's data. Search any city\, browse 200+ datase
 t categories\, and download GeoJSON filtered by administrative boundaries.
  No GIS expertise required.\n\nWhen a planning team worked on a bus networ
 k reevaluation in Mexico City in the late 2000s\, teams GPS-tagged informa
 l bus stops and routes\, data dying in proprietary reports. At that time\,
  OpenStreetMap was just emerging and didn't have the coverage yet. But it 
 offered the perfect infrastructure to make this data reusable and useful f
 or local  communities\, if only teams had known about it.\n\nToday\, OSM h
 as grown\, but accessing it for city-level planning remains challenging. T
 ools exist\, but extracting city datasets filtered by administrative bound
 aries is still difficult for non-technical teams. OSM for Cities closes th
 at gap\, with categories spanning schools\, healthcare\, cycling infrastru
 cture\, and transit\, backed by a self-hosted Overpass instance for global
  coverage.\n\nThis open-source project invites planners\, researchers\, lo
 cal mappers and city officials to use the platform and share feedback. Wha
 t would you do with easy access to your city's OSM data? We want to hear t
 he use cases we haven't thought of yet\, and the gaps we should be filling
 .
