I would love to be able to extract admin boundaries and “auto-magically” merge them to get a unique and perfect boundary of the area, but I didn’t have time to search for existing solutions, and I don’t expect that there is one or that it would be easy to develop (but it would certainly be a great tool / library for the OSM community)

I’ve built a small query in overpass turbo but stopped after the easy part : querying multiple areas => https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1FMd

Everyone : if you have any thoughs, processes of existing tools that might help, would you be kind enough to share them with me ? (even if the process isn’t fully automated)

Here’s the christmas wishlist (a little late technically)

1. A tool https://openmobilityindicators.org/ on a worldwide scale (and with better detection of true pedestrian dead-end, as this tool doesn’t take into account the connectivity of pedestrian ways with areas, so it has a lot of false positives) (https://gitlab.com/open-mobility-indicators)

2. An automated tool for the “arrogance of space” concept https://colvilleandersen.medium.com/the-arrogance-of-space-93a7419b0278 It’s not pure OSM but would likely require various data inputs (such as aerial imagery, and OSM data)

3. Adapt the codebase of https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet for internationalization

4. Iterate on this tool to detect and map pedestrian crossings https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/NorthCrab/diary/402069 (maybe integrate and distribute it in a more user friendly and collaborative way so each local community can be empowered and follow the completion of pedestrian crossings integration in OSM)

5. iOS version of StreetComplete (cf https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421)

6. Integration of Panoramax (https://panoramax.fr) in iD, JOSM, StreetComplete (and other major tools)
