Count Buildings in the Philippines

Hi
How to count the number of buildings in the different cities of the Philippines and then extract them to Excel in an organised way such that they are categorised as either: high rise or low rise, residential or business, other attributes that are defensible in OSM?

Thanks / david

In general, have a look at our FAQ site https://help.openstreetmap.org

and do a search there for “CSV” … you will find hints there about osmfilter / osmconvert.

For smaller areas (nort a whole country) you can also try
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo as a frontend for the famous http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API

one of those tools (or both?) has a “count” feature.

Tell us first about your success or failure about filtering raw OSM data for building=*
