with little consensus
Long term major construction sites should be mapped, they do not fit the
definition of brownfield.
One example: about 1sq mile of Liverpool has been under construction for
the last couple of years and has at least another year to go.
I think we should start using this tag or something similar
</PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE wrap="">I have been using brownfield for exactly that kind of site. Although
technically it wouldn't apply to construction projects on green field
sites. You could start using landuse=building_site and submit a patch to
render it :) (or talk nicely to someone editing the rules...)
As far as I'm concerned, it's good to tag these area's rather than
leaving big empty spaces, and brownfield works for me....
</PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE wrap="">If it's a previously used piece of land then "brownfield" is appropriate,
with or without construction activities. If its new construction on a
greenfield site then landuse=under_construction works for me.
