Re: [Talk-GB] Named landuse polygons

Please be aware this is the talk-GB forum. Use of place=farm in Britain is almost certainly misguided. If anyone knows of an appropriate location please post here. It's not use of the tag itself that's the problem, it's contributor's misinterpretation of it. DaveF On 17/01/2017 21:52, War

Re: [Talk-GB] Named landuse polygons

For residential areas I agree. In this case place=* would be better. An area's name refers to all entities in the vicinity (schools, parks etc), not just where people live. Unfortunately landuse=residential is still misused to be all encompassing of an area or even whole towns. "The Bow Quar

Re: [Talk-GB] Named landuse polygons

Colin, do you have your own preferred style for how to tag a named housing estate in a city for example? I use landuse=residential for this (e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/51736709 though that one wasn't by me) and I feel it a very appropriate style. It can easily be carved out of a larger r

Re: [Talk-GB] Named landuse polygons

Hi Andrew, Well, my 2p: I like to name landuse=residential when it corresponds to a delineated housing estate or whatever. I agree that as in this case they're almost always "somewhat arbitrary" (only rarely do we have access to some official polygon corresponding to a housing estate or retail are

Re: [Talk-GB] Named landuse polygons

Can't think of any justification for name on landuse. The boundary of a village may be co-linear with the built-up area, so the "place" boundary may be co-linear with the "landuse=residential", but they are not the same object and should not be conflated into a single OSM object from some (misguid

A recent changeset in southwest London [https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/43807789] added names to landuse=residential and landuse=commercial polygons. The mapper has not responded to the changeset comment that I left some weeks ago. The names themselves read more like descriptions to me a
