> If it’s 40 storeys of apartments above a 3 storey mall, use landuse=retail for the whole mall area, and building=apartment for the residential towers. The whole, larger mall building could probably be building=mall; it sounds like there are several tall but narrow residential towers around or on top of a bigger mall.
You're describing ( in the USA anyways) Mixed Use classification. >From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-use_development *Mixed-use development is a type of urban development that blends residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or entertainment uses, where those functions are physically and functionally integrated, and that provides pedestrian connections. Mixed-use development can take the form of a single building, a city block, or entire neighbourhoods. The term may also be used more specifically to refer to a mixed-use real estate development project—a building, complex of buildings, or district of a town or city that is developed for mixed-use by a private developer, (quasi-) governmental agency, or a combination thereof. * In the USA, under the impetus of Growth Management legislation in most states and metropolitan areas, the concept isn't only restricted to urban areas. > Commercial areas are less important but are still more likely to be destinations of trips, compared to residential and industrial. There is lots of trip data, but most trips are multiple pairs and or multi-modal. > I initially disliked the idea of only tagging retail landuse for mixed-use > urban centers, but it makes sense based on the need to tag one feature on > one area, and the limited options for rendering maps with overlapping > landuse. Back in 1994, after examining existing schemes, the APA came up with the LBCS <https://www.planning.org/lbcs/standards/> as a minimal schema to make sense of the semantics of LULC. The EU also has a similar LULC harmonization under the INSPIRE framework <https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/Themes/129/2892>. Michael Patrick Data Ferret
