Describe the solution
It would be nice to show street names (and perhaps other geographicel context information) in the map, not as basemap in the background, but as overlay in foreground. To not cover it by builiding geometries.

Describe any alternatives
OpenStreetMap offers usually raster tiles which are not suitable here. Better are vector tiles, to configure it manually.

solution could be

  • WebAtlas Sachsen / Deutschland or basemap.de
  • or search for OSM vector tile service

Additional context
compare also the solution, how housenumbers are already be shown in the Colouring map. see:
https://github.com/colouring-cities/colouring-dresden/blob/main/app/src/frontend/map/layers/building-numbers-layer.tsx

"number_layers" in:
https://github.com/colouring-cities/colouring-dresden/blob/main/app/src/tiles/dataDefinition.ts

but the difference is, that house numbers can be loaded from database and be placed directly on centroid of the building.
Also street names of the buildings we have in database, as well. but should be placed on streets, this information ist not in database
--> external service for street names would be better
