[OSM-talk] How to map quarters?

[Kev js1982]

On a similar line how would you tag the zones in Nottingham city centre?
These are aimed at navigation (basically if you are heading for
somewhere in the victoria zone follow the red square with queen
victoria in it for a suitable car park)
These zones don't match with the suburbs (lace market zone includes
part of hockley as well as all of the lace market, the broadmarsh zone
is larger tham the former suburb or the shopping centre there now,
Hockley lies in victoria and lace market so they certainly are not suburbs
