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>
[<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/43807789">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/43807789</a>] added names to
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>
<br>
What is a general view on when it makes sense to add a name to a
landuse polygon?<br>
