<p>Interesting! That is more generic than simply civic_admin - one would not expect the primary land use of a school or a hospital to be "administration". When/to whom is this classification significant?</p>

<p>They all sound much like offices (landuse=commercial) to me. Ownership has nothing to do with land use. In this case, the city council happen to be the users of the property, but if they need to downsize for whatever reason and a particular building gets a new tenant, will the land use change? I wouldn't have thought so.</p>

<div>Well, in my country, these are classified as a different landuse and not commercial. Please see this land use map as an example: <a href="http://mandaluyong.gov.ph/img/profile/map9.gif">http://mandaluyong.gov.ph/img/profile/map9.gif</a><br /><br /></div>
<div>Hospitals, schools, universities, and civic/admin facilities (such as municipal or village townhalls) are classed as "institutional" landuse. So for my country, landuse=civic_admin (or similar) would make sense.</div>
