Report for Freelancer: Creating a Global City Database for WordPress

Integration

Context and Objective


I aim to enrich my WordPress-based website by integrating an exhaustive database of cities
worldwide. This database will be used to structure geo-localized content, allow users to
search by city, and potentially add advanced features (e.g., filters or advanced searches).
The main objective is to obtain a complete and usable database, adhering to specific criteria,
to facilitate a smooth and efficient integration into WordPress.

Tasks to be Completed
1. Collect Data on Cities:
- All cities worldwide with a population exceeding 20,000 inhabitants.
- The data must be categorized by country and include standardized information:
- City name (in the local language and, if possible, in English).
- Country to which the city belongs.
- Population (if available).
- Latitude and longitude.

2. Include Districts for Major Cities:


- For major cities such as Paris, Warsaw (Warszawa), or other similar metropolises,
include their districts/arrondissements:
- Example for Paris: 1st arrondissement, 2nd arrondissement, etc.
- Include details such as:
- Name or number of the district.
- Population (if available).
- Area (optional).

3. Structure the Data:


- The data should be exported in a format compatible with WordPress, for instance:
- CSV or JSON files with a clear structure.
- A separate table for cities and their districts.
- The file should be prepared for future integration into a WordPress database using
plugins or tools like WP All Import.

Technical Requirements
To complete this project successfully, the following steps are recommended:
1. Research Data:
- Use reliable sources such as open data databases (e.g., GeoNames, UN, or geographic data
APIs).
- Verify the accuracy of the data and organize it consistently.
2. Data Cleaning and Organization:
- Ensure that city names are standardized.
- Remove duplicates or irrelevant data (e.g., cities with less than 20,000 inhabitants).
- Structure districts hierarchically for major cities.
3. Deliverables:
- CSV/JSON files ready for easy import.
- Documentation on the data structure (e.g., column descriptions, relationships between
tables).
- If possible, a script or method for updating the database in the future.

Example Data Format (CSV)


Table 1: Cities

Country City Population Latitude Longitude


France Paris 2,140,526 48.8566 2.3522
Table 2: Districts

City District Population Area (km²)


Paris 1st arrondissement 16,888 1.83

Required Skills
This project requires the expertise of a data scientist or geographic data specialist, capable
of:
- Handling massive datasets.
- Automating the processing and classification of data.
- Delivering results that are exploitable and adapted to the technical needs of a website.

Conclusion
This database will be a key asset for the future development of my website, allowing for
increased customization and scalability. Your expertise is essential to ensure data quality
and compliance with my technical needs. Please send me your proposal and a quote for this
project.
