I am conducting a study on assessing integrated risk of municipalities in the world, so I need the digit boundaries. Your quick response are highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
As far as I know, there is not a world wide database with boundaries of all municipalities. I think it will be a tough job to collect them for each country separately. For the Netherlands you will find the boundaries here (maybe in a local projection): https://www.pdok.nl/nl/producten/pdok-downloads/basis-registratie-kadaster/bestuurlijke-grenzen-actueel (this website is in Dutch, sorry for that)
Maybe there is someone out there that has done the job of collecting all boundaries already? I wish you all the best with collecting the remainder of the data...
Just thought of this: maybe you can extract it from openstreetmap.org
This will take some effort I guess:

I have found a great website : http://www.gadm.org/.
You can get the shapefiles of boundary world wide or by country.
This website peovides boundaries in nation, city, and even county scales WITHOUT ANY PAYMENT
The only problem is that there may be unreadable codes in property tables, which may be caused by the language of computer system.
