That's true in Nederland, where every square inch has one or more
allocation plans.
It's half true for Western Europe.
I don't think it's true for the world.


For some, functions, there is still no proper tag like a potential

 This is why landcover is tagged as landuse. If landuse is not known but
you see gras, stretch the definition of landuse to include "unknown, but
it's grass". It worked when applied at a large scale. With micromapping,
it's a bit silly to tag grass as a landuse. It gives a nice green colour to
the community lawn, though.
