Hello,
I am working on data collection for Chicago city. All government sites have county-wide data rather than city-wide. So I am a little confused about what should I upload? Data of two counties, namely, Cook and DuPage county (Part of DuPage county) which makes the city of Chicago or for all counties which are there in Chicago Metropolitan Area which is known as Chicagoland.

Layers
This layer is about providing context around the city: placement in the region, geodata, spatial boundaries, population numbers over several years, GDP, economic activities, etc.
Data and information to obtain
| 1.1. Administrative boundaries 2 |
| 1.2. Economic activity - descriptions 1 |
| 1.3. Economic activity - figures 1 |
| 1.4. Population 3 |
| 1.5. Policy documents 3 |
| 1.6. Actors 0 |
This layer looks at the biophysical properties of the city, including soil, land, ecosystems, climatological characteristics, geology, and more.
Data and information to obtain
| 2.1. Soil type and composition 2 |
| 2.2. Trees 2 |
| 2.3. Biodiversity 3 |
| 2.4. Bodies of water 2 |
| 2.5. Average temperatures 2 |

This layer looks at the physical infrastructure that is present in the city. From roads and transportation infrastructure to gas mains, and from bread mills to petrol stations.
Data and information to obtain
This layer is all about extraction flows, consumption flows, emissions to nature, composition and addition to (artificial) stocks (e.g. Building stocks).

Hi Nikita,
Thanks for letting us know. It is always tricky if data are available at a somewhat different level than the city boundaries proper! Quick question. In the datasets provided, will you be able to identify individual datapoints for individual counties? If so, am I correct to assume that if one wanted to get Chicago-data it would be a matter of summing the data for Cook and DuPage? Or is it impossible to convert county-level data into Chicago-proper data?
Please note that upscaling and downscaling is something that we are looking into as a 2021 priority. See here our plan. We furthermore have a group get-together on Monday when we kick-off work in this arena. If you are available, do join us and you can then bring these questions to the group which also gets it higher on our agenda.
