Talk:List of Cape Town suburbs

message: I found this list of wards in Cape town: http://www.capetown.gov.za/council/councilsearch.asp?choice=2 MDCore 10:03, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there are no specific definitions of the areas; it's just based on what people actually use. Some people would say that Pinelands is not in the Southern Suburbs because it's on the "wrong" side of the M5. Others would say that it is in the Southern Suburbs because its culturally/societally connected. Personally, I thing that Pinelands/Ndabeni/Maitland/Thornton should be considered a separate area, but there's no name for it and most people don't think of it that way.

message: The City is officially subdivided rather differently to what is shown in this article.
There are eight administrative districts that I have identified so far from City Planning Department GIS maps (see above). Each of these has a large number of official planning suburbs. I will try to fill these in here then we can decide how to deal with this can of worms.

===Discussion===
The Administrative districts are subdivided into wards, but they are not proper subsets as some wards include a bit of two districts. Likewise not all wards are cleanly subdivided into suburbs, so I am leaving them out for now. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 15:36, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The planning districts are only used by City Planning, they don't have general administrative significance outside that department. Some other City departments have their own divisions, e.g. Electricity has electricity service regions and Health has health districts. The official administrative divisions of the city are (1) Area-based service delivery regions (North, South, Central and East), (2) Subcouncils, (3) Wards. These don't always line up with the suburbs as they are known to Capetonians. - htonl (talk) 16:58, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , I know that, as I have lived in Cape Town for quite a long time. Do you have an alternative suggestion for listing and grouping suburbs that can be supported by reliable references that is not equally or more arbitrary? It is somewhat tricky, which is why I am starting on the talk page. A lot of the data is publicly available on-line, but some requires specialised software to view. Even the Administrative districts do not fit exactly with suburbs - there are some suburbs in two districts. However, the article topic is suburbs of Cape Town, and the ADs are a reasonably convenient way of geographically grouping them, but not necessarily the only way, or even the best way.
