Sorry for plugging to the post ;) I'm afraid it won't work out well. Most of the area in city centers (like areas that I linked to) is covered with townhouses with retail/service tenants residing at the ground level, rest of the building being residential. Therefore landuse=residential is more appropriate and is mapped so. The activity areas aren't merely about the usage itself, but, well, the activity - i.e. concentration of interesting places and number of people visiting them (or other similar popularity metric).
