I'm looking for a way to extract a list of all places (cites, towns and so on) with their respective admin boundary ISO codes. Is there a way to do it with whatever tool is available? The issue I'm working around is this:

You tackle this problem not by asking one question after another here hoping others will do all the work for you, but by sitting down and creating a solution yourself. Try out those things others have told you in your other questions and play around with it. You have looked at the data already, good! Now try out solutions. When you have tried something, come back with more specific question. Nobody ever has 100% accuracy.
