For city centres with mixed use I proposed once http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/centre_zone but actually I think now that it might be better to have landuse=mixed for mixed landuses (especially if the mix is within the same buildings like ground floor shops, upper floors offices and residences) and another attribute to combine with like centre=yes for the intensity/relative importance. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
