It looks like they are trying to do exactly this. Here is a map of a
part of Rio de Janeiro in Brasil: http://osm.org/go/OVcch3Alh- .
But this approach is not scalable, - even on this map you can see
three _Rua C_, four _Rua A_ (Rua means Street in Portuguese). Without
a central authority it will end up in numerous duplicates.
These look to be gated communities. Like here:

Condominio Barao da Taquara
So the address would be something like Rua E., Condominio Barao da
Taquara, Rio de Janeiro.
I heard that in such areas of a city a smartphone is a basic
necessity, because if one leaves home when it is dark outside it is
difficult to find way back as there are no street signs, and one may
realistically get lost till dawn.
How did people manage before the age of smartphones, accurate GPS and
free maps?
