I guess parks is better than buildings, because in many cases, a plaza
is either surrounded by buildings (such as St. Peter's Square in
Vatican City), or there is a building in the middle of the plaza (such
as the Louvre's Pyramid). In these cases, the plaza would be
indistinguishable from the buildings.

Tweekers can still modify the style file and customize a TYP file to
their liking (as I have done), but I think 0x17 is the most sensible
default.

Cheers.
