Ville/Stad* de Bruxelles is in fact a *Commune/Gemeente* made of 4
anciennes communes/deelgemeenten Brussels, La(e)ken, Neder-Over-Heembeek
and Haren.
What you see incomplete is the first one, but the other ones are
incomplete too.
The boundaries between them are missing. They must be added with the
right name and the four boundaries must be closed over them. My only
problem is finding the missing pieces if I do that, but I know where to
look for them.

Cheers,

André.
