GeoNames does not have city boundaries.

Although not present, I suppose the notion of city radius could be added. Does anyone know whether any governments provide this sort of information?

I don't know of any government providing radius information. They could easily provide the boundary information if they wanted to. For various reasons they don't want to and it will take time to see some changes in this policy, because it would be the job of politicians to change these policies. As we all know politicians all over the world are of the same kind and hardly ever do what would be beneficial for their countries.

Best
