Dear list,
Im looking for a tag that allows more granularity for residential
areas. Particularly for dense/slum/urban poor areas.
In the traditional landuse planning speak, there are subclasses like
low density to high density residential.
Any suggestion for the appropriate osm tag?
Field or values? If field, my personal preference is to re-use the
value of the main tag. I.e. natural=beach, beach=sand so
landuse=residential, residential=*. Drawbacks: 1) clutters main tag
space, 2) may clash with existing tags, say landuse=military, miltary=
... but then that also may be appropriate. I guess the alternative would
be landuse:subtype or some such, I'll keep my eye open in european
countries where zoning laws are very strict.
Mike
