 - **buildings** layer: remove label placements from low- and mid-zooms, keep at zoom 16+. ([#679](https://github.com/tilezen/vector-datasource/issues/679))
 
+- **landuse** layer: Low- and mid-zoom landuse polygons are now merged within the same `kind` values to significantly reduce file size. Some properties, like `name`, `id`, `sport`, `religion`, and `surface` are dropped, and the `area` is recalculated for new combo polygons. [Planned work](https://github.com/tilezen/vector-datasource/issues/473) will add back some detail by adding `scale_rank` classes pre-merge (matching **buildings** layer behavior). ([#583](https://github.com/tilezen/vector-datasource/issues/583))

Remaining label placements are recommended for text only label treatment.([#742](https://github.com/tilezen/vector-datasource/issues/742))
