[@urbansafarivideo]

Hi thank you for your video, I had much trouble of filtering out the streets of a city, the city boundary always set to hole district both called Gifhorn , Germany, with QGIS I was able to figure out an other way by using postcode boundaries this is working fine for this city.

Hi, Can i use the same process to get the mall/shopping center boudries ? the data that i have contains mall name, lat, long for mall and the housenumber, street address, city and state.
I am not sure at first how can i get the mall using the parameters and then get the boundary for the mall.

[@michaelfore6814]

find an example of a mall then, instead of 'type'='relation', you can put foo=bar, where bar is one of the attributes you found manually.

Thank you so so so much for this tutorial, any way I can drop all the other features and just highlight the streets of the city? Will be greatly appreciated if you can help me with that. Thanks again

how to make a boundary for the buildings only?

[@michaelfore6814]

Locate a building as an example, and find the metadata that signifies it. So in the video, where I put "type"="relation", you can put foo=bar, where foo and bar are what you found on the initial building.

[@michaelfore6814]

What is your input?

[@sethrogers3102]

Thanks for the video does not appear to work for London (UK) or Riyadh KSA. Perhaps post your code in the comments. Thanks for the video helpful.
[out:json][timeout:25];
area["name"="london"];
(
relation["type"="boundary"]["name"="london"];
);
// print results
out body;

[@michaelfore6814]

Ah, I didn't mention is was most for US states.
The same process should be able to work for those places too. Different countries will vary how the tags are reported.

[@michaelfore6814]

Try and capitalized the L in london
[out:json][timeout:25];
area["name"="London"];
(
relation["type"="boundary"]["name"="London"];
);
// print results
/*added by auto repair*/
(._;>;);
/*end of auto repair*/
