We had a similar discussion from a contributor working in Peru and
their cuadra system. My proposal was to create a new tag
addr:block (+ a name or a number) which could be attached on a
parallel way along the street (like the addr:interpolation). But

- draw blocks as polygons
- tag with `landuse=residential` or `landuse=commercial`
- name with block number
I don't like the landuse tag for this purpose. There could be two
landuses on one block, there could be an empty block with no landuse but

What do they do in Japan? Japan has a block-oriented addressing system. I
don't know how this is implemented in OSM, but maybe it can be used in
Brasilia.

I think I've seen the addr:block proposal (what's the link?)
My understanding is that addr: fields would be attached to entities that are
actually being addressed, i. e. buildings. Is this correct?
That said. addr:block would indeed be useful for addresses on buildings in
Brasilia.

I see your point. While Brasilia has indeed in many places single purpose
blocks, this is likely not the case in all cities. However, place=neighbourhood
is misleading as there are many blocks in a neighbourhood.
I'm liking the `area=yes` as seen in Mannheim [1] better than
Thanks - any links? A quick look at Salt Lake City gives me street names.

Oh no, please. area=yes has been created to distinguish highway loops

Seems to me then that starting to use a value block for the place [2] key

Last week we've done some walking papers work in Brasilia and there are now
some questions on how to enter data.
Brasilia and its satellites do not use street names, but an elaborate block
numbering system. Before we start entering data, I'd like to propose a proper
way to enter blocks.
