The problem is that nodes are just nodes. They don't give us the area
that covers the city. And we need the area to know how large the map
should be and which streets are part of the city.

The second problem is that, to my knowledge, there is no connection
between the node representing a city and the corresponding
administrative boundary.

Node for Berlin:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=551156

Administrative boundary for Berlin:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=49961488

Thanks! Don't hesitate to let us know about the result of your findings.
