Hello,

I have downloaded the file allCountries.zip and i want to extract all cities, including those ones that have population lower than 1000 or even 0, but only cities, because allCountries include all populated places which is more than i want. The file cities1000.zip doesn't fit my requirements because it only include cities with population higher than 1000, please do you have any way to solve this, i have tried filtering by Feature Code = 'PPL' in allCountries but nothing seems to work,

thanks in advance...

if you filter by PPL only then you will loose all capitals (PPLC, PPLA, etc)

You find the list of feature codes for populated places here:

Just take the codes you are interested in. As simple as that.

Cheers
