why should we use a theory of spacial planning of the 1930ies that is loosing importance, and that is (as far as I understand it) less useful on the lower end of the scale (where our problems actually are mostly arising)? On the other hand it could IMHO be useful to differentiate town and city in more detailed levels (if this is wanted). Personally I'm less interested in hypothetical "ideal/neutral" situations and theories and more in real and actual conditions, in the case of settlements highly depedent on geographic setting, culture, history, society and politics. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
