+1, I would go even further, and at least in countries like Germany (roads not 
on parcels), no urban landuse should ideally contain public roads. This makes 
editing much easier, multipolygons are not or very rarely needed for landuse 
mapped in this way. Easier to understand and more detailed. 
Then, use place for settlement parts.
