An alternative variable that you could use for samples from 2000 forward (for samples with public GPS data) is the contextual variable on population density included in IPUMS-DHS (available at idhsdata.org)
https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/POPDENSITY#de scription_section

This variable allows you to set your own uniform standard for what level of population density qualifies as urban.

Alternatively, you could use the DHS's dichotomous URBAN/RURAL variable (V025), which appears to be more consistently available across samples.
