well that's the hard part - I know. It could be a mix of several things -
best I could think of is densitiy of POI or density of addresses.

I'ld guess looking at density of POI and density of building=* - plus the
bigger the size of the building the more it has to be assumed it's urban
and some crosscheck with the bounds data would be enough. That should then
end up in a static file just like sea data and bounds. It would also of
course be possible to use that data to exclude buildings in cities - and
more ideas.

Even just density of POI and density of building=* (look at how much space
the building occupies - e.g. if inside a squared area more than 20% of
space is taken up by buildings - it's highly urban. 5-20% is a bit mixed,
<5% is rural.
