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 Quarter" appears to be an attempt to posh up the area. Gated
communities scare me as the most dangerous people are usually inside the
fence.

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 as a local and they
were added to the existing polygons, which are somewhat arbitrary (you
could micromap with a polygon for each block omitting all roads).
These names appear on OSM-carto in italics.
What is a general view on when it makes sense to add a name to a
landuse polygon?
