For mobility companies interested in global city classification data to help planning deployments, this work by Srushti Rath crowdsourced original data from Wikipedia using a new natural language processing algorithm. We expanded city classifications developed by Jimi Oke for ~300 cities up to a set of ~2000+ global cities. Links to data and code are included in the paper. Developed as part of a collaborative C2SMART project with Via.
