What this preset models
This is not tourist Nevsky Prospekt. It models everyday central Saint Petersburg near Chernyshevskaya: dense pre-revolutionary blocks, enclosed courtyards, culture and food nearby, Tauride Garden within a normal walk, flat terrain, and little major-road exposure at the validation point.

Weight decisions
culture,courtyard,pedestrian_infra,flatness,poi_quality, andindustry_proximitystay as the core signals.walkabilityis stricter because the validation point has little nearby major-road exposure in the classes this app treats as noisy traffic.convenience_24his higher: 24/7 groceries around the validation point are common, so this is not a weak signal.wateris moderately higher: canals and the Fontanka are nearby, but the selected-city score should not collapse into a pure river-edge search.forestandmarketplaceare disabled: this is neither a forest nor a bazaar scenario. OSM may returnprotected_areaobjects in the historic center, but that is a false signal for this criterion.
