Access to high quality and updated data is crucial to assess and contextualize city state of a affairs. The City Data Pipeline uses diverse Open Data sources to integrate statistical information about cities. The resulting incomplete dataset is not directly usable for data analysis. We exploit data from a geographic information system, namely OpenStreetMap, to obtain new indicators for cities with better coverage. We show that OpenStreetMap is a promising data source for statistical data about cities.
