Thanks for the input everone. I like the idea of grass/scrub/grassland depending on the site if there is no trace of the demolished buildings. If there is still something like a foundation, or slabs of broken concrete or other debris, then it would be tagged as a brownfield.
There seems to be consensus that brownfield sites are not necessarily slated for redevelopment so the wiki pages should be changed to reflect this. What is less clear is whether the term brownfield is limited to sites contaminated from past industrial activity, or whether broken slabs of concrete from a house would qualify. In my opinion, they would. ________________________________ From: Tom Pfeifer <t.pfei...@computer.org> Sent: March 13, 2017 1:53 PM To: Tag discussion, strategy and related tools Subject: Re: [Tagging] Landuse for vacant lots On 13.03.2017 16:57, Andy Townsend wrote: > I'm a native English British English speaker, and to me brownfield does > not mean just "scheduled for development".

Fine, so maybe we losen the Wiki definition a bit, saying that the land _might_ be scheduled for future development. That leaves the focus on the fact that the land had been used before.

Yes that is a form of troll tagging, negating the key. Thus I'd prefer brownfield as above. I agree that landcover=* can describe what has grown there. tom _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging Tagging Info Page - OpenStreetMap<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging> lists.openstreetmap.org Your email address: Your name (optional): You may enter a privacy password below.
