What are "towns" and "suburbs" in Belgium ? <br><br>In Liège, as far as I know, old communes are now the name of some "quartiers" (i do not know the word in english). If I would map them, I would use the disctrict/deelgemeentes/section level... But maybe I am wrong...<br>
<br>But I do not know about any examples of town or suburb...<br><br>I do not understand also the link between the tag place=* and admin_level=*. I think that, in Belgium, we should have to set a place "town" inside a admin_level "municipalities" because there isn't any official "town"... <br>
<br>For instance: create a relation "boundary=administrative + admin_level=(municipalities: 7 or 8)" and, inside, a "place=city" if it is more than 100.000 inhabitants, "place=town" if the municipality counts between 10.000 and 100.000 inhabitants, ... <br>
<br>But this is a bit unclear for me...<br>Julien<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/6/8 Maarten Deen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mdeen@xs4all.nl">mdeen@xs4all.nl</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

Don't have much time to reply, so a short one:<br>
<br>
Always look at the country specific page to get the answers. The<br>
international<br>
page is just there for some "guiding", but the countries have to make<br>
their<br>
own rules. As is the case for Belgium.<br>
<br>
country: level 2<br>
regions: level 4<br>
communities: level 5<br>
provinces: level 6<br>
arrondissements: level 7<br>
municipalities: level 8<br>
district/deelgemeentes/sections: level 9<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Then why is this information not on the international page? There is<br>
absolutely no reason to have conflicting information on a wiki.<br>
In this list I am missing single towns. A municipality consists of multiple<br>
towns. Should it not be: municipality:8, town:9,<br>
district/deelgemeentes/sections:10?<br>
I assume 10 can be used for sububurbs/wijken too? (does Belgium have that<br>
concept like the Netherlands?)<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
'Deelgemeente' in Belgium is a different concept than in the<br>
Netherlands. They are former municipalities, which in the 1960s or<br>
1970s have fused into larger municipalities. Thus, a<br>
deelgemeente/district/section is more like a town than like a wijk.<br>

Ok, I've also looked at wikipedia, to me it seems that from low admin_level to high it should be:<br>
- Municipality (Gemeente/Commune)<br>
- Deelgemeente/district<br>
- Town<br>
- Suburb (Wijk)<br>
<br>
That would then suggest that everything from region down should be dropped one admin_level:<br>
<br>
country: level 2<br>
regions: level 3<br>
communities: level 4<br>
provinces: level 5<br>
arrondissements: level 6<br>
municipalities: level 7<br>
district/deelgemeentes/sections: level 8<br>
town: level 9<br>
suburb: level 10<br>
<br>
Or start using admin_level=11.<br><font color="#888888">
