While I can understand about megacities, I don't agree about cities. Uganda has cities [1] that are much smaller than centres that would be towns in the USA. There's no point in saying "Uganda is not entitled to have cities because it has too little a population". > On vendredi 28 mai 2010, Simone Saviolo wrote: >> consequence, while it is good to see the map of France showing five >> cities, Italy's map should instead contain a few tenths.

No, you got it wrong. We didn't create a list of cities so that Mapnik showed the labels, but we created a list of cities because *those* *are* the cities in Italy.
