Exclude landuse=residential areas.




So my current idea is to create




(landuse=forest + natural=wood) - landuse=residential




and calculate its area.

I have no idea how to do that, lakes are just a start. There are forests split

because leaf_type or some other property changes but entire area has name.





Real fun starts where one

has forest (or park) where parts of named area has their own names.





It is on my (long) OSM TODO list to invent useful tagging for that.

 It is certainly OK to have overlapping areas with landuse=residential (records landuse)


and landuse=forest (records landcover).
