Dear GRASS users,
is there a good (more or less uptodate) vector (point) file containing European cities
and maybe also there approximate size? Maybe someone of you is aware of such a
product that is freely available e.g. from the European Union? Does anyone have an
idea about such a data source?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
Eurostat’s European Urban Audit dataset [1] could also be relevant.It contains a point Shapefile of each of the main EU cities (580 in total) as well as their respective urban extents as polygons. As far as I can see, the latest version dates from 2004 [2], but perhaps a more recent version exists somewhere else.
best regards,
Daniel

Next to the Urban Audit already mentioned by Daniel, you also have the ESPON datasets:
