    For residential areas I agree. In this case place=* would be better.
    An area's name refers to all entities in the vicinity (schools,
    parks etc), not just where people live. Unfortunately
    landuse=residential is still misused to be all encompassing of an
    area or even whole towns.<br>
    <br>
    "The Bow Quarter" appears to be an attempt to posh up the area.
    Gated communities scare me as the most dangerous people are usually
    inside the fence. <br>

      A recent changeset in southwest London<br>

      landuse=residential and landuse=commercial polygons. The mapper
      has not responded to the changeset comment that I left some weeks
      ago. The names themselves read more like descriptions to me as a
      local and they were added to the existing polygons, which are
      somewhat arbitrary (you could micromap with a polygon for each
      block omitting all roads). These names appear on OSM-carto in
      italics.<br>

      What is a general view on when it makes sense to add a name to a
      landuse polygon?<br>
