What is the value of identifying Balkanabat as a residential area? It is a city, and is already identified as such.

Outlining the area that is used for housing.
The label itself doesn't show the extent of the city at all, one might use the mapped streets to get a grasp, but that might also be misleading (weak example, south west of Ashgabat ;))
I've seen that there was another outline of the city roughly adhering to the residential area, similar to what is still left for many settlements in the Ukraine or the Russian Federation. I think of those polygons as an interim stage to completely mapped administrative divisions. Mainly such polygons that should match the administrative boundaries of the city should also contain the industrial areas south of the railway track, in the north east of the city and probably the airport. All of which are probably not used for housing.
However, to begin with I hope be both agree that the residential polygon for the large (and apparently pretty new) area north west of Balkanabat is useful right now.
